Major Topics
We can achieve greater wealth and financial security through the systematic development and
implementation of well-defined financial plans and strategies. Certain life situations require
special consideration in our financial planning. Financial planners can help us attain our
financial goals, but should be chosen with care. Personal financial statements work together to
help us monitor and control our finances in order that we may attain our future financial goals
by revealing our current situation, showing us how we used our money over the past time
period, and providing a plan for expected future expenses. Time value of money calculations
allow us to put a dollar value on these future financial goals and thereby plan more effectively.
