There are all kinds of financial struggles. In the modern world where google seems to have an answer for everything from “How much water should I drink?” to “What is the perfect age to get married?” etc
There are many good answers on the internet, especially regarding popular topics. Sometimes, I even found myself in the ocean of information when I only need someone to guide and walk with me. Suppose you have been around long enough. We go from visiting a doctor in-person to searching for generic medical self-help online. Praise to the forward-thinking innovators; many of these approaches improve our lives.
But some topics need to be better candidates to be a one-size-fits-all solution. Situations that go beyond a model answer and cookie-cutter approach.
Imagine two individuals with the same position working for the same company with similar educational backgrounds, same ages, and cultural profiles. Being born and raised in two families would give the two entirely different experiences regarding the relationship with money. These usually lead to totally different approaches to solving financial problems. Look no further but among your social circle how they differ in spending and saving behavior then you can see my point.
There are many reasons to seek help from financial professionals; among all, here are the typical 10.
1, Goal setting
It would help if you had guidance on setting a reasonable and reachable goal. Quantify the timeframe to pave a path to reach your short and long-term goals.
2, Seeking a compass
Momentum seems to fall short, and you find yourself on a plateau or sluggish at times to approach it. There are cases where you need help with directions.
3, Validate your plan
This could fall into a situation where you need help checking your numbers and evaluating whether the plan is executable and valid to reach your goal.
4, Doesnt see the end of a tunnel
You work hard to keep the goal in line and hit the milestone. But the plan moves further away from you. This could be due to economic and social environmental changes.
5, Routine health check
Things are going well for you and your family. Nothing significant seems alarming. You would like to benchmark yourself to a much larger population.
6, Understanding the numbers
You need help explaining some numbers and calculations. This might also include learning how some of these financial world works.
7, Need for continued education
Answers that applied ten years ago might not use anymore. So it would help if you had a refresher.
8, Need a spotter
You feel you need to be more confident doing it yourself. You need someone to spot and walk along with you if the weight is too much.
9, Need a mediator
This happens mostly between two significant others; a third person’s opinion means golden.
10, Monitor your progress
It would help to have someone to tell you you are doing a good job.
You are not alone if you are in any of the above situations. We will know our health condition once it’s too late. Assuming others couldn’t lead to losing time, money, and wealth-growing potential.
