Larry shares more on the Fourth Pillar of the Complete Financial House – Progress. A financial planner will help you set a strategy and game plan towards your goal, although sometimes it’s hard to stay on track with plans we’ve put in place. Having a planner who is fully dedicated to the plan is recommended. We also want to keep looking at the plan regularly and have short-term goals we can meet outside of the long-term plan. This way, we can see our progress and be sure that we are going in the right direction.

All of these tactics are intertwined. One of the best things you can do to implement these strategies is to work with an expert such as a wealth advisor to really specialize and focus on this. Some experts focus on only one of these tactics, but it’s best to find someone who can implement all of them. Since they are intertwined, working with someone who has experience and education in these areas can make things much more efficient.
