5 Financial-Planning Tips For Young Investors

Being a young adult can be exciting – enjoying the early stages of a career, having your own place, making new friends – but it can also be confusing and stressful. One of the reasons is money, and learning how to manage it.

In a financial literacy survey of more than 5,500 young adults, the National Endowment for Financial Education and George Washington University found that only 8 percent of those ages 23 to 35 showed a high level of financial knowledge.

“For those just starting their careers or beginning to save for their retirement, the financial planning world can be quite daunting,” says Richard Paul, president of Richard Paul & Associates, LLC  (www.rwpaul.com), a financial advisory firm in Michigan, and author of The Baby Boomers’ Retirement Survival Guide.

“One flaw of our education system is the lack of preparedness it provides for younger investors just starting off. When it comes to stocks, bonds, 401(k)s, and debt, the task of planning is overwhelming to most.”

Paul offers young adults five tips for fundamental financial planning:

• Automate your contributions. The easiest way to invest is to automatically direct a portion of each paycheck into your investment accounts. “You’ll quickly get used to having less money to spend each month, and your savings will grow automatically,” Paul says. “And if your employer offers a match into your retirement account, be sure to take advantage of that. That’s free money.”
• Take control of your health. You might think your health doesn’t fit into a discussion of financial planning, but being proactive when it comes to health – whether it’s getting your annual physical or daily exercise – will pay dividends in the future. “A retiree today is expected to spend $275,000 over their retirement on health care,” Paul says. “By investing in your health when you’re young, you can reduce your potential for future health care costs.”
• Get out of debt. “Paying down your debt reduces the amount of interest expense you pay each year,” Paul says. “And often, people are paying more in interest than they are likely to earn by investing.” Studies show the average American under the age of 35 has between $23,000 and $30,000 of debt in the form of credit cards, student loans, auto loans and other forms of personal debt. According to a NerdWallet 2017 study, the average U.S. household that’s carrying credit card debt has a balance of $15,654.
• Build and protect your credit. Your credit score is an indicator of your financial health. “The list of people who have an interest in your credit score seems to keep growing every year,” Paul says. “Damaged credit can be costly over time. Pay all bills on time by setting up payment reminders or enrolling in auto pay. Pay down balances on credit cards; high balances relative to total available credit affect your credit score.”
• Buy into panic, not excitement. If the stock market sells off by 5 to 10 percent over any given month or week, Paul recommends you take your excess cash and buy the dip. “Only use excess cash, not any cash that is needed to pay bills,” he says. On the flip side, when the market is going up significantly Paul advises: “Wait for a correction if you’re sitting on the sidelines.”

“Young people need to know how to plan financially,” Paul says. “There’s a tendency to put it off, but that’s risky. There’s too much to lose. You’re not young forever and without a plan, you’re unprotected for your future.”

Media Statement on Medical Cannabis Ballot Initiative

Salt Lake City, UT (March 29, 2018) — In response to Governor Herbert's new opposition to the Medical Cannabis Initiative, Libertas Institute president Connor Boyack issued the following statement:

"It is awkward to see Gov. Herbert suggest that HB 197 is a good reason to oppose the proposed medical cannabis initiative. This bill was initially voted down and only was barely revived after its sponsor, Rep. Daw, pleaded with colleagues to not kill the bill. This strong opposition suggests that it is not the ideal path Herbert claims.

"In fact, this bill establishes a government monopoly on the production of cannabis and requires the government to set its prices—hardly a conservative, free market approach. Even worse, the cannabis is only available to Utahns who are already at death's door—not the thousands who suffer and are scared of overdosing on opiates. This narrow and highly regulated step is not what Utahns want, as repeatedly expressed in numerous polls.

"As we have argued for years in working on this issue, patients should not be treated as criminals. It is sad that the Governor and so many legislators remain content with criminalizing people who merely seek good health. Plainly put, the Governor is wrong—and voters throughout Utah will make that very clear in November. "
