Financial Progress Checklist

We are coming to the end of November and it is only 50 days left in the year 2007. In case you haven't noticed, the Christmas season is upon us AGAIN!!!.

For many people, the holiday season are not very productive as far as accomplishing our most important goals for the year are concerned. Some have given up on their goals for the current year completely. Others make an effort, but they're already beginning to live in the New Year.

I certainly won't advise that you do any of these; as i won't be doing them either. Why am i saying that? A lot can still happen in the next 50 days!!! You can still accomplish some - if not all - of the things you've been putting off since the beginning of the year!!. Revise your goals and go for them again one last time.

While you are at it, below is a Financial Checklist that i know will assist you in setting the goals for the coming year. The aim is for you to finish this year on a high note and start the new year with the same momentum - whatever your age.

In Your 20s and 30s
  • Write your will
  • Set up a savings account (ISA in the UK)
  • Buy a house
  • Invest for growth in at least one Unit Trust (Mutual Fund)

  • Begin contributing to a retirement plan

In Your 40s and 50s

  • Do all of the above if you haven't already
  • Invest for income as well as for growth
  • Put part of your portfolio in tax-exempt investments
  • Fund your retirement plan to the max
  • Draw up adurable power of attorney or living trust, and a living will
  • Consult a Solicitor if your estate is worth more than the Inheritance Tax threshold
