Wrap Up: Key Themes
24
Regularly using a financial advisor or professional has many and strong benefits in helping people manage their financial lives and prepare for retirement
Ironic that – across the board – not even half of people regularly consult and advisor.
Consulting an advisor can Increase employer plan participation Increase overall savings & ability to save Increase feelings of confidence and control Increase formal planning and calculating future needs Improve general financial management and health
How do we encourage more people to seek financial advice and guidance / make the benefits of advice and guidance more broadly available?
