Financial Planning Week is Oct. 1-7
Sheldon J. Harber, CFP ®, President of Asset Strategies, Inc., says more people need to consult with a qualified financial planning professional.
“The need for advice is greater now with continue changes in financial markets, tax laws and geo-political forces,” he said. “Economic volatility has made it harder for people to be do-it-yourself financial planners.”
Harber says certified financial planning is unique.

“Not all financial planners are certified,” he said. “I’m a Certified Financial Planner with a degree from the College of Financial Planning in Denver. Not all financial planners are experts in comprehensive planning methods.
“What’s important is that you review your goals and objectives from time to time, and that you’re on schedule to meet your current and future retirement goals and objectives.”
