Ok so I just had my first ever meeting with a financial consultant. Through a friend's recommendation a meeting was set-up and after I postponed it twice (mainly because I forgot but also because I had a ton of stuff to do), it finally took place today. It was interesting but half the time I really just wanted to start laughing out loud because today I had to think about thinks that I have seriously never thought of in my life!
So obviously financial planning is planning for the future right and I was thinking ok so it's gonna mainly be about making my money work for me which is cool. It was a little about that but also about a whole lot of other serious stuff such as: When do you plan to get married ?!?!?!?! How much do you plan to set aside for you wedding ?!?!?!?! How much do you plan to set aside for your house ?!?!?!?! Car ?!?!?!
Huh?!What?!Huh?! I've always known I would want these things in the future but for some strange reason it never occured to me that I would actually have to plan and save and set aside huge sums of money for them. So when faced with these questions, I drew some serious blanks. One of the first questions was: When do you plan to get married? Me: Errrrr I HAVE NO IDEA. Then when asked how much I wanted to set aside for my house/wedding, I was like..how much do these things even cost??? I don't know!
Ok I gotta continue this later if not I'm gonna be late for my project meeting!
