As we look forward to 2021 in the coming weeks, it’s a great practice to review all areas of your financial plan. This provides the opportunity to incorporate any changes that have happened during the last year or fine-tune goals for the next twelve months. The questions for each topic below are meant to incite discussions about finance. We would be happy to have more detailed conversations should any of these topics/questions apply to you.
