What is financial planning?

Put simply, financial planning is the process of looking at your finances, deciding what your financial goal is and setting out a plan to help get you there.

You may need to decide how much financial risk you’re willing to take. You may also need to consider your future financial position. But all this means is that your plan will be unique to you and will change as your financial situation changes.
