When you think about your finances, how far into the future do you plan?
People who think at least 10 years ahead typically save significantly more money than their peers. In this episode, Kevin Mahoney, CFP®, who specializes in financial planning for Millennial parents, talks through how you might want to think about your investment time horizon. In particular, he reviews data showing that most people, regardless of age, income or education, only think several years ahead about their finances.
Kevin will explain that you don’t need to know with exact certainty how you’ll use the dollars you’re investing. In fact, just because you lack certainty doesn’t mean you can’t think in rich, exciting detail about your future. Your plans can change, and they almost certainly will. But start somewhere, with some vision.
