A financial plan is a way of achieivng a financial goal. This can be something as simple as saving for that dream holiday, planning for your retirement or ensuring that your family is protected should anything happen to you or your partner.
After a detailed analysis, Macleod and MacCallum
An example of the way in which needs might be prioritised could be:
1. Mortgage Protection
· can I pay the mortgage if I am off work sick
· can my partner pay off the mortgage if I die
2. Family Protection
· if I die, will my partner have enough resources or do I need to have life cover
· how much life cover do I need
3. Income Protection
· does my employer provide any long term sick pay or will I need to rely on the state
· if I am off work long term, how much income do I need
4. Retirement Provision
· How much money will I need when I retire
· How much do I need to save now to make sure I have enough
5. Savings
· can I afford to save any money
· how much can I afford to save and over what time period
Everybody has different needs and priorities depending on their own circumstances. Macleod and MacCallum
