When Should You Work With a Financial Planner?
Roughly 72% of Americans report feeling stressed about money, according to a survey by the American Psychological Association, and only 18% of people say they feel very confident that they will have enough money to last throughout retirement. But when it comes to handling money, most people go at it alone -- only 40% of people say they work with a financial planner.
There are many reasons you may avoid using a financial planner. Maybe you think it's too expensive. Perhaps you're afraid he or she will judge you for not having saved enough at this point in your life. Or maybe it just never crossed your mind.
While it's true that not everyone needs or can afford a financial planner to help them make sense of their money, in some situations, it may make the difference between reaching your financial goals and stressing about them the rest of your life.
