We meet every week with young couples and first time homebuyers to help them with their financing needs. Most people, young & old alike, think that getting a mortgage is separate from their financial planning goals and that their mortgage in no way is related to their financial future, but they are so wrong!
When you are young and just starting out, organizing your "financial future" is something you may be tempted to put off. However we hear the same financial complaint from most of our older clients "If only I'd started my financial planning when I was younger." So all of you youth reading this post start organizing your overall financial situation early. Start now. You will have greater control over the financial aspects of the life you are building for yourself and your partner.
If you discipline yourself now, when you are young, to do some planning and take some action in each of these areas, you will save yourself a lot of stress & worry in the future. Don't think that your financial future is 50 years from now, its not. Your financial future is next year, not some distant point in the future you cannot visualize.
