You probably already know that a financial planner can help
you with money matters. They can help you to increase your savings, to make
some smart investments, to get rid of debt, and just to get to a better place
financially. It might surprise you to learn, however, that these experts can
also help you
with a lot of other things in the process. Read on to learn about
some of the surprising, positive effects that hiring a financial planner can
have. 
An Improved Marriage
Did you know that financial stress is one of the leading
causes for failed marriages? In fact, in a recent study on relationship stress
conducted by SunTrust, 35% of people in strained relationships listed finances
as the main problem in their relationship.
The fact of the matter is that, no matter how much you love
your partner, if you’re struggling to stay afloat and disagree on how to spend
money, you’re probably going to have a lot of stress and get into more than
your fair share of related fights.
When you hire a financial planner, it’s like hiring a
mediator to help you and your partner discuss your finances openly and
honestly. Together, you can figure out what’s causing your financial problems
and what you can do to remedy them. Talking through your problems and then
coming up with and working through a plan to make things better can bring you
closer together and improve your marriage and your communication big time.
A Better-Functioning Family
Another thing that financial planners can help you with is
developing a will and finding guaranteed ways to leave your money and other
assets to your loved ones when you pass on. When you work with a financial
planner to develop a clear and clearly detailed strategy for where your money will
go after you pass on, you’re not only taking care of their financial needs; you
may just be helping to smooth over potential fights or disagreements as well.
All too often, after the death of a loved one, family
members find themselves turning on each other and squabbling over “who gets
what.” When you’ve worked with a financial planner and made plans ahead of
time, there is no arguing; the allocations have already been put in place,
allowing your family to go on functioning happily and argument-free even after
you’re gone.
Reduce Personal Stress
Finally, financial planners can help you to get rid of some
of the stress and worry in your own life. If you don’t have a good financial
plan in place, you probably worry a lot about the future, about saving for
retirement, and even just about making ends meet. That can cause a lot of
anxiety and unhappiness, which are the last things you want in your life, but
when you work to create a doable financial plan with your financial planner,
you strip away the stress and worry for good and can get on with just living
and enjoying your life.
Financial planners do more than just help you get your
finances in order; they help you to improve your life in multiple ways, and
that alone makes them worth using.
