Managing Your Finances- Takeaways

By Andrea Young on November 17, 2022

Money can be stressful for many, especially when the economy has ups and downs like this past year. The rising cost of gas, food, housing, etc., has forced many to look closely at their financial situation. We were fortunate to have Kerry Luria of Lexington wealth share some helpful and practical insights into managing your finances.

Start Early

You would think saving early would be obvious, but so many don’t. There is no set number when it comes to saving, so even if you don’t have a lot to put away, even the littlest bit helps. Also, by teaching your children to save when they are younger, you will help set them on the path to financial success. 

Budget

No one wants to budget, but certain circumstances can call for it. Whether you’ve fallen on hard times due to Job loss, an illness, an injury, or maybe you want to save for a big purchase, budgeting can help. It’s always wise to go over bank and credit card statements. You may realize that you’ve been spending a lot on going out to eat, or you have accumulated multiple subscriptions to streaming services that you don’t use anymore. When you can see where your money is going, it will help you to cut back. One thing to consider when spending is, do I need it or do I want it? If it isn’t something you absolutely need, then it might be something you can put off.

Get Support

Working with a financial advisor can help you realize your financial goals and how to achieve them. In addition, they can help you determine how much you will need to save for your retirement to live the life you want.
