It’s time for a financial checkup

by Thrivent Financial Red Mountain Group September 29, 2016
written by Thrivent Financial Red Mountain Group September 29, 2016

thrivent-financial-new-picA changing life leads to changing finances, so make sure you’re up to date.

For most of us, checkups are a regular part of life. Dental visits, auto maintenance appointments and even glances in the bathroom mirror all help us monitor performance and catch potential problems, and assure that all is—or will be —well.

What’s true of teeth, engines and grooming also is true of finances—regular checkups are recommended. Why? Changes, both great and small, affect the strategies people have developed to help achieve their financial goals. Unfortunately, too many people act as though once their financial program is in place their work is done. This isn’t so.

As a general rule, Thrivent Financial recommends you review your financial program at least once each year. Certain life changes—the birth or adoption of a child, a change in marital status (married, divorced, widowed), the death of a family member or changes to your health—should serve as reminders a financial tuneup is in order.

Other changes in personal economics also can have a huge impact on financial programs. These may include shifts in employment status or salary (e.g. loss of job or a pay cut/freeze), home ownership changes, significant changes in total assets or debt, the receipt of an inheritance, or tax law changes, which all can make previous strategies obsolete.

If you have a do-it-yourself mentality, a number of print and electronic resources exist to help monitor your finances. However, most can benefit from the knowledge, experience and insight financial services professionals offer.

Qualified financial professionals can help people evaluate their present financial strategies and keep abreast of new laws, regulations, products and economic developments. Even more important, financial professionals can challenge unrealistic assumptions people may have, and help them overcome money management’s greatest threat, which is procrastination.

To live is to experience change. How and where change will appear is impossible to predict, but a financial checkup is one sure way to help your financial objectives—and your sense of financial confidence—keep pace with all that occurs.

Thrivent Financial is represented in the Red Mountain area by Red Mountain Group, which includes Jeff Kolzow, Jeff Rodemeyer, Rick Aussprung and Colton Sheley, located at 2941 N. Power Road, Suite 105. For more information, call (480) 396-5333.
