Financial Planning Advice For Young Adults

You may have only just started to make waves in your chosen career path or be on the cusp of building substantial savings to be looking into buying your first home, and feel like investing in your future is a daunting process. Alongside this, you may feel like approaching a Financial Planner for advice when you aren’t really sure what you even need advice on is stopping you from making decisions for your financial future.

Contrary to these fears, approaching an advisor for financial planning advice when you are a young adult does not have to be intimidating. By following a few tips on how to prepare for your consultation, you can begin planning how to navigate your future.

Why You Should Start Financial Planning Now

Realistically, being in your twenties and thirties means a lot of financial future

projections apply to you as much as, if not more than, an age bracket that currently has more financial considerations. The housing market, Brexit future, student loan repayments and choosing the right savings plan for you are just some of the significant aspects of your future that the earlier you focus on, the better.

Aspects of Financial Planning For Consideration As A Young Adult

First off, having a good general idea of your future plans and goals is beneficial for a financial advisor to direct you towards the right areas for help with your financial planning. For example, approaching an advisor with questions on investment goals, pension plans and savings will help lead the conversation towards creating a plan that works best for you. Do your research, but do not panic if you are unsure, an advisor can help you create short and long-term goals.

Ask the right questions, and ‘shop the advisor’. This planner will be analysing many aspects of your finances and advising on lifestyle choices to meet your goals, so knowing what you want to get out of the partnership will help you choose the right advisor for you. Ensure you know what general aspects you would like advice on, and select a financial advisor with this in their area of expertise.

Financial Tips for Young Adults

If you’re lucky, your parents taught you self-control when you were a kid. If not, keep in mind that the sooner you learn the essential life skill of delaying gratification, the sooner you’ll keep your personal finances in order as a matter of habit.  One of the most important ways to exercise self-control with your finances is also very simple. If you wait until you’ve saved the money for whatever it is you need, then you can put all everyday purchases on a debit card instead of a credit card. A debit card deducts the money from your checking account immediately (with no additional fees), but a credit card—unless you can afford to pay off the balance in full every month—is actually a high-interest loan. If you get into the dangerous habit of putting all your purchases on credit cards, then not only will you be paying interest on a pair of jeans or a box of cereal, but you could also still be paying for those items in 10 years. Credit cards are certainly useful; some offer gr...

Eight Steps To Choosing A Financial Adviser

People have long memories when it comes to sharp financial practice. Over the past 30 years, a string of mis-selling scandals involving pensions, investments and commission-driven products such as payment protection insurance have left many sceptical about the wisdom of approaching someone for financial advice. The way such advice is given has nonetheless changed dramatically in recent years, largely under the influence of regulators. Where once people may have been invited to “free” sessions, paid for by kickbacks or commissions on investments and products, today’s customers must pay an upfront fee — often running into several thousand pounds — for unbiased advice tailored to suit their needs. These tougher standards were introduced in 2013 under the Retail Distribution Review (RDR), which forced regulated advisers to hold higher levels of qualifications and banned commission-driven sales. Nevertheless, quality varies and charging structures can still be opaque. At the same time...
