CUMMING, GA — Financial Consultants Group, a local fiduciary-based advisory firm, has published a new blog post offering insight into why working with a financial planner can be a turning point for many households preparing for retirement.
Answering the Big Question
The blog post, Is Having a Financial Planner Worth It? Let’s Find Out! outlines clear benefits for individuals in their 50s and 60s who are facing major financial decisions like estate planning, retirement income strategy, and tax-smart investing. It lays out the real costs associated with DIY approaches to personal finance, both in terms of time and potential financial missteps.
Instead of relying solely on apps and online calculators, the article makes a data-backed case for hands-on guidance from an experienced fiduciary. Readers are encouraged to take a more proactive approach to protecting their retirement savings and long-term wealth.
Key Mistakes Planners Help Avoid
In the blog, Financial Consultants Group outlines some of the most frequent mistakes made by those planning their finances independently. These include:
-
Mismanaging debt priorities
-
Making impulsive investment decisions
-
Overlooking tax liabilities or deductions
