The next six blogs will cover the basic steps involved in creating a financial plan. Instead of creating a long single blog entry I have decided to break this topic up into six manageable blogs that will not take that long to read and digest. Then after I post the sixth and final blog post you will have a very good basic understanding of what it takes to create a comprehensive financial plan. Of course I do recommend that if you are serious about having a financial plan it is best to seek out the services of someone who has been trained in financial planning. But regardless of if you have a financial plan or are in need of one this series of blogs will help explain the overall basics. If at any time during this six part series you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me either through and email or the contact me tab on this blog site. Check back over the next three weeks on Tuesday and Thursday for the posts in this series.
