Personal Financial Planning » Financial Planning Options

Personal financial planning consists of three general activities:

• Controlling your day-to-day finances to enable you to do the things that bring you satisfaction and enjoyment.
• Choosing and following a course toward long-term financial goals such as buying a house, sending your kids to college, or retiring comfortably.
• Building a financial safety net to prevent financial disasters caused by catastrophic illnesses or other personal tragedies.
