At this stage in life, some of the financial issues you may find yourself dealing with are:
  • Accumulating and preserving wealth
  • Managing debt
  • Prudent asset management
  • Discretionary savings programs
  • Long-range planning for retirement and emergencies
  • Diversifying investments and establishing a growth strategy
  • Creating a simple will and estate plan — providing for heirs and bequests to charity
  • Increasing income; increasing debt
