“Over half of Americans say they’re behind on retirement savings — and nearly 80% believe we’re facing a retirement crisis.”
— Bankrate (2023), CRR at Boston College (2024)
Even in uncertain financial times, many people assume that hiring a financial advisor is something only the wealthy need. But the truth is, having an experienced, objective partner can help you avoid costly mistakes—especially when preparing for or navigating retirement.
According to a 2023 Bankrate survey, 56% of Americans say they’re behind on saving for retirement, and a 2024 report from the Center for Retirement Research found that nearly 80% believe the country is facing a retirement crisis. These numbers highlight a growing concern: many individuals, regardless of income or age, are feeling unprepared for their financial future.
Working with a financial advisor isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to make smarter, more confident decisions with their money.
5 Reasons Why You Need a Financial Planner
-
You Want a Roadmap to Navigate Financial Decisions
Many people have questions about how to invest wisely, protect their assets, plan for college costs, and prepare for retirement. A financial planner helps you clarify your goals, ask the right questions, and build a personalized roadmap for every decision ahead. With a written plan in place, you stay focused, avoid lifestyle creep, and make choices that support your long-term future.
-
You're Uncertain if You Qualify for More Tax Breaks
A financial plan can also help you take advantage of all the tax breaks and credits available to you , such as: child or eldercare expenses, charitable donations, college savings plans and more!
-
You Want to Sleep Better at Night
Having a financial plan in place can give you peace of mind that will allow you to sleep better at night. If your money is on autopilot, then all you have to think about is what's for dinner. A good financial planner can also help you prepare for retirement and ensure that your estate passes to your heirs with the least amount of taxes and fees owed.
-
You Don't Want to Jeopardize Your Golden Years
We've seen it happen too many times: someone quits his job after 20 or 30 years only to learn that there just isn't enough money in their 401(k) or IRA to cover their expenses in retirement . The biggest reason for this is having your money in too many different products. Consolidating to two or three well-chosen investments offered by a good financial planner can save you big bucks over the years.
-
You Want to Make Wise Investments
Even in uncertain markets, opportunities to grow you assets still exist. But, only someone who understands your full financial picture can find them for you. A financial planner reviews your investments, steers you away from unsuitable products, and recommends options that fit your goals and risk level. While no investment is guaranteed, a thoughtful plan helps improve your chances of long-term success.
