Sabrina Scott, Co-Founder of Red Feather Financial Talks About The Benefits Of Working With A Trusted Financial Planner
Dr. Sabrina Scott knows that most people are not taught to seek the services of a financial planner, but offers statistics that show those who do, and stick to a plan, typically end up in a better financial position than those who don’t.
DECATUR, GA, February 4, 2019: Dr. Sabrina Scott, co-founder of Red Feather Financial, has posted a new article on the firm’s website entitled “Financial Gardening Requires Planning, Management And Protection,” in which Dr. Scott elaborates on the beginning, middle and end stages of financial planning.
Dr. Scott writes, “I often compare the concept of cultivating financial wellbeing to that of gardening.” She adds, “When starting a garden, you have to determine where you’ll situate your garden and you’ll have to know the best time to plant. You have to prepare the ground. Then, you have to determine what type of plants are most appropriate for your climate, the amount of available sunlight, your tastes and your budget. And, you’ll need to know how much of a particular flower or vegetable you’ll want to grow.” “All of these activities,” Scott says, “come under the heading of ‘planning.’”
According to Dr. Scott, “To achieve financial wellbeing, you must also begin with a well thought out plan. Timing and placement of funds are important as you embark on your journey to financial wellbeing. The beginning stages of your financial journey are different and must be tended to according to the seasons of your life. Not unlike tending to your garden as it goes through different stages of growth.”
“Many people do not grow up being taught to seek help creating a lifelong financial plan,” writes Scott. She adds, “Unfortunately, so many assume they can create wealth on their own without help. However, those who seek guidance and stick to a plan typically end up in a better financial position than those who don’t.In fact, a 2011 study, “showed that those with financial plans accumulated nearly 250% more retirement savings than those without a financial plan in place. Furthermore, nearly 44% of those who have a financial plan in place save more money each year for retirement.”
Scott adds, “It’s also important to understand that financial planners are not just for the wealthy. They do cost money, however there are financial planners available for almost everyone. Some planners focus exclusively on high wealth, while others tend to the needs of those with less wealth to manage.” No matter what you have or earn, Scott says, “It is always important to pay attention to how your financial adviser is compensated, as fees and compensation matter. It has been shown that financial planners help individuals generate roughly 1.82% excess return each year, creating roughly 29% higher retirement income wealth. This means even if an adviser is charging a 1% fee a year for the management of retirement assets, the financial advice still has a huge impact on generating
