Efficient wealth tips

Here are a few tips on how to manage your money more efficiently.

Step 1: Have a plan

The first step to saving money is to know what you are spending your money on. The best way to answer this question is to draft a budget. A budget can be a simple document that shows your inflows on the one side and your outflows on the other. Once you have this information at hand, you can shift your focus to reducing your debt payments by paying off your most expensive (highest interest rate) debt first.

A comprehensive budget is a critical component towards creating a sustainable investment plan to ensure that you save enough towards your future.

Step 2: Choose investment options suited to your needs

Once you have a clear picture of how to pay off debt and create some disposable income, you need to investigate the investment options that are available to you. And the options are limitless. It may feel daunting to know exactly which product suits your needs best. Remember that products vary in duration, the access that you will have to your funds, the return to expect on your investment, and the associated fees. All of these decisions can be overwhelming, and you might not know where to start, but our expert Efficient Wealth financial advisors are here to help.

Step 3: Protect yourself and your family

Have you ever considered that insurance is a form of saving? What happens when you are unable to earn an income? You are unable to maintain your savings goals and the investments that you have put in place.

Reviewing your portfolio yearly, helps you to ensure that your comprehensive financial plan is still on track. As your financial services partner, Efficient Wealth will help you to ensure that as your circumstances change, your portfolio keeps up with these changes.
