Everyone is hoping for a better year and MWI Consultants Inc wanted to be a part of it. Here’s some of the basic financial tips we prepared on how to have a successful year.

A. File your taxes early

We’re certain that you’ve heard this a thousand times before, but it’s really effective. Scammers are everywhere, so file your taxes as soon as possible just to be safe. They might steal your Social Security number and file your taxes electronically, and leave you with a big tax refund on their hands. You don’t want that to happen, right? So accumulate your tax documents now!

B. Increase your contributions

Make sure to increase your contributions to your employer retirement plan with a minimum of 1 percent. You should be maximizing your tax-deferred contributions and aim to contribute enough to get all of the matching funds from your employer.

C. Get started on your estate planning

Schedule a meeting with an estate-planning attorney in 2016 and begin your estate planning. Everything must be in order just in case something happens to you for the benefit of your loved ones.

D. Give importance to your health

MWI Consultants Inc strongly believes that health is wealth and we’re aware that health care is expensive. We’re certain that the biggest part of your retirement expenses will be health care-related. Even if you deny it, it is the reality that’s waiting for all of us and different studies from various organizations support that. It is necessary to invest in your lifestyle today by acquiring that gym membership and actually begin using it. You can hire a personal trainer if you’re not that motivated to do so. You MUST give great importance to your health and start working out. Good health yields enormous savings, not to mention quality of life. Health is your most powerful weapon against all odds, so cherish it as long as you live.

E. Learn financial education

You cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. Dedicate your time in learning financial education to become prepared for the odds of the future. With this, you’ll be able to spend your money wisely and you’ll be smarter in managing your money. If you need help regarding this matter, MWI Consultants Inc is always available to guide you.

F. Pay yourself first

When it comes to budgeting, it’s not only about paying the bills; it’s also about paying yourself. The level of priority you give in paying your bills should be the same level with handling your savings account. Always include your savings in your monthly budget – consider it as one of the necessary bills you need to pay.
G. Set up an emergency fund

There are a lot of unexpected situations that could happen in your life, such as job loss, decrease in income, or medical emergency, so it’s important to have an emergency fund.

How you handle your money today will define your future, so be careful. MWI Consultants Inc promises to post a lot of different financial tips in the future to help everyone achieving their financial goals.
