At sea, how much time do you spend thinking about your finances? How often do you stop and think about your goals, both short term and long term, and if you are doing enough to achieve them?
We lead very busy lives, so taking time out to go over bank statements, look at savings rates and think about how we invest for the future can seem easy to put off for another day. But at CrewFO, our partner recommends that you regularly taking stock of where you are, and what you can change to improve your position, can make such a difference to your long-term chances of achieving your goals.
What are your goals?
Those goals could include buying a house, getting married, starting a family, starting a business, all of which will seem less daunting if you plan ahead and put some sort of financial strategy in place. Having a plan can make you feel in control of your future – and who doesn’t want to feel in control? The internet is a fantastic resource for researching the available savings accounts, ISAs, pensions and mortgages among other products, but it can get overwhelming as you read conflicting views on what’s the best deal. This can also put you off making any decisions.
Seeking advice is a good place to start
Professional advice from an accountant, a mortgage broker or a financial adviser can make a real difference in getting you on track and keeping you on track. As your goals change over time, so must the financial strategy you have in place to achieve them.
