Starting to trend in the right direction again!
It was 64% in 2019 - right before covid. Just a guess...but I'm thinking the pandemic wiped out a lot of Emergency Funds and they haven't been built back up yet. Just a guess though.

A "milestone" is any event of achievement that marks an important stage in your life. Think...buying a house, or paying all debt, or retirement, etc.
BTW...I have "CFP" in my bio....just sayin'

I had a short chat about FHSAs at an event last night which sparked this post.
It's a pretty popular account - and for good reason! If buying your first home is on your radar, one of these should probably be in your plan.

I agree with the 89% but I'm also genuinely surprised
When looking at those who had life insurance vs. those who didn't - those WITH felt more in control of their finances and more prepared for unexpected life events - makes sense as that IS the point of getting insurance!

Cost was the biggest reason the 65% weren't likely to get it.
That said, it can be WAY less expensive than people think.

That's a good thing btw...this is a good change ;)

"Not starting earlier," is always the number one financial regret. I don't think I've ever seen a survey come back with a different answer.
The earlier you start, the better off you'll be. I've never seen a case where that isn't true.
#FinancialFactFriday #FinancialAdvisor
Top answer was "Dining Out" (38.6%), then "Vacations and Travel" (27.2%), and "Entertainment/Concerts/Events" (14.3%)
I'd think "Entertainment/Concerts/Events" would be higher. I hear concerts can end up costing you a LOT of money...but maybe that's just Coldplay shows
