When it comes to planning for your financial future, the earlier the better. But don’t worry about falling behind. No matter where you are on the path to long-term financial planning, these three tips can start moving you forward.

• 1. Organize Your Assets: Gather and organize all your account information to gain a holistic view of your financial situation. From there, ensure that your assets have the appropriate titling and beneficiary designations. An attorney can provide recommendations on these points.
• 2. Review Your Social Security and Pension Opportunities: The Social Security website offers tools to help you estimate your future Social Security benefits, and your company’s human resources department can provide information on pension opportunities.
• 3. Understand the Risks and Rewards of Investing: Work with your financial professional to help you determine your risk tolerance and long-term goals, and make appropriate investment decisions. You can also use resources like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to learn more on your own.

Continue to review your financial situation quarterly so you can make any necessary adjustments and stay confident that you’re on track to reach your retirement goals.
