Finding the right financial advice can be a challenging job. Initially, you need to know what kind of advice you might need, but that depends on your circumstances. If you are just starting your work life, your needs will be different than if you are in the middle or even close to the time when you expect to retire. All of these situations mean that you may have different needs and you will definitely have different amounts to invest. Let’s look at some typical scenarios.
The first investor:
This is someone who has recently entered the workforce and may only be out of education, be it regular education or higher education, for a few months or years at most. They will seek to complete up to fifty-five to sixty years of work and will have no idea what life will bring them. Of course, they may have aspirations and might actually decide that they want certain material things in life, but in reality they have none of them.
Middle-aged investor:
At this point in his career, he is keenly aware of what he already has and how he is likely to finish his career, expecting any unforeseen issues like redundancy or long-term health issues. You will be aware of the potential growth of the pensions and investments you have. At this point in life, you should have made decisions about the children, and while you may still be able to move forward in real estate, you probably have some form of real estate behind you as a great investment.
Even if you are just starting out with a Finance plan right now, you will still have a current government pension and will start your own company pensions, so creating a plan that includes them is easy. All you need is a good financial advisor to help you make the plan.
Late investor:
You may be at the end of your career, but even this is never too late to start a reliable plan for your retirement. Many of the problems that plague investing in your mid-career apply to a late investor, and you likely have a much better idea of the assets you own and how to move forward.
As an investor in later life, he is more likely to be in his last home and may have paid off his mortgage in full. His total debt is likely to be much less than the previous two groups, with the intention of paying it off before he finally retires. At this point, you will know if an early retirement age is possible or if you will have to work a few years to achieve your goals.
