Map Out Your Financial Future

Financial Literacy month at Knowledge Bureau includes tools to map out your financial future with the Financial Assessment Calculator. Take a free trial!

This powerful calculator links your client’s trigger questions about life events, financial events, and economic events with changes needed to get the financial results needed now and in the future. Begin by analyzing the use of money in four stages: basic spending needs for food, clothing, shelter (non-discretionary spending), “emergency savings for now and in retirement” (discretionary spending), foundational savings (capital used as a tool to build financial resources) and finally, transition of savings (building of sustainable family legacies). The process then moves from thinking in the present to a future orientation: how to use their “redundant income” as a tool to build income-producing capital (often called “don’t see it, don’t need it” money). Now you can make decisions about spending and saving to meet goals: what is personal net worth today and what can be done to increase and sustain it after tax.
