Editor's Notes
- #4 Welcome to today’s presentation, “Introduction to Financial Planning.” My name is [Rep’s Name] and I am a Financial Planner with [MSI or NES] Our first step is to put a definition around “Financial Planning.” It all starts by asking three questions. (READ SLIDE)
- #5 Now that we’ve identified what financial planning is, let’s talk about the process. Here are the steps (READ SLIDE).
- #6 You have to know where you’re going before you get there. So, let’s identify what your own personal goals in order of priority. The left column has some common goals. The right column is where you would rank each goal in order of your priority. Maybe number one for you is making sure that you minimize estate taxes, while number one for the person next to you may be paying for a child’s education. It all depends on your own situation.
- #7 Here’s an example of how one may rate their goals.
- #8 Once you’ve identified and prioritized your goals, the next step is to identify when you want to reach that goal.
- #9 You’ve identified your goals. You’ve prioritized them. You’ve assigned time frames to them. Now – how are you going to get there? You need to identify where you are now. (READ SLIDE)
- #10 04/27/11 15:47 Let’s say that your goal is to accumulate $100,000 in 20 years. How can you do this – and when should you start? Here’s an example of “the cost of waiting.” Hypothetically, if you were to earn a consistent 8% return in a tax deferred vehicle, you would need to start saving $175 a month starting today. Wait 8 years and that number jumps to $422. Wait 16 years, and it jumps to $1,774. Of course, we’re speaking hypothetically and this graphic does not represent an actual product. What it does do, however, is to present the concept of the value of time when it comes to saving for a financial goal.
- #11 Let’s review the benefits of financial planning. (READ SLIDE)
- #12 Now, let’s get organized! You’ve identified your goals, prioritized them, and set time frames. To determine where you are now, you need to determine your net worth, your income and expenses.
- #13 You can create a personal balance sheet, listing out assets and liabilities. Assets can include (READ SLIDE). And liabilities can include (READ SLIDE).
- #14 There are three ways to increase your net worth (READ SLIDE).
- #15 Now, let’s identify your income. Income is more than your salary. Income also can include things like (READ SLIDE). And your expenses can include (READ SLIDE.)
- #16 Here’s an example of income against expenses. Here the total income is $6,000 a month and expenses are $4,200. Subtract expenses from income and you have a discretionary cash flow of $1,800 per month.
- #17 04/27/11 15:47 And let’s look at the impact of taxes by looking at a graphic of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in a tax deferred and a taxable vehicle. To keep it simple, let’s assume our hypothetical vehicle earns a consistent 5% return. As you can see, the tax deferred investment grows quicker – but do keep in mind that taxes will be due upon withdrawal and that retirement products do not enjoy the lower tax rate for long term capital gains or qualified dividends.
- #18 04/27/11 15:47 Let’s say you have $10,000 earning 3% interest in the bank. After one year, your account would be worth $10,300. Let’s assume that inflation is at 3%, so we have to subtract that $309 [to stay even] from what you earned, but you are still coming out ahead, right?? Not quite. Because we have to figure in the taxes, remember? And 25% on your $300 of interest is $75 to taxes. So, $10,300 minus $309 for inflation and minus $75 for federal tax is $9,916. That is a real rate of return of .991%.
