In many cases, from the age of 18 until the birth of a child, there is a lot of planless behavior going on. A small movement can really reap some big rewards down the road. If you're a couple who has a two children, for example, if you haven't done any estate planning, that's something that you'd really want to look into. And then also, looking at their investments through that financial planning lens may not be a great portfolio for them or someone else.
While many wouldn’t go on vacation without a plan, that’s exactly how most people begin their investing journey. Amanda Kish, Financial Planner Specialist, joins Motley Fool co-founder Tom Gardner to discuss how to build a financial plan.
In this episode, they cover: - How to understand yourself as an investor. - The key financial planning steps that new parents should take - How often you need to revisit a financial plan - The times you may want professional financial planning advice, and the parts you can do yourself.
