I've been a financial advisor for over 35 years and have seen some common financial mistakes that people make like:
Going to cash when the market goes down. This can be a mistake because you could miss out when a rebound happens.
Lifestyle Creep. As your income increases you should still maintain your savings rate. Don't keep up with the Jones'!
Credit card usage. Credit card debt is a big issue. Get a debt reduction plan. Use the "snowball effect" or the "Avalanche Effect"
Not automating their savings: Set up a automated savings plan from your bank account to your savings. Start with your emergency fund, then graduate to your 401k and other savings goal. Don't save what's left over pay yourself first!
Not having a financial plan: by having a financial plan you have a plan of action that will answer the questions of , How much should I be saving? How do I get out of debt? How much to save for college savings plan for the kids?
Taking 401k loans. 401k's are meant for retirement. Not for vacation, cars or other luxury items. 401k loans are taking away from your future retirement income.
Procrastinating on getting a will and Power of Attorney: without a will the court will decide who takes care of the children and who gets what.
Buying too much of a car. A car is a depreciating asset. Use these guidelines, 20% down, car payment should be 10% of your net income and don't finance more than 3 years.

In this episode of That Financial Guy I talk with, my brother, Kevin Wilson. We discuss his somewhat recent move to Prescott Arizona, What are some of the changes that he experienced as far as cost of living, housing costs, and quality of life since he has moved there. Could this be a retirement destination!!! According to a recent study from The Motley Fool, quality of life ranked the #1 factor in considering where to retire. But there are other factors to consider when thinking about your destination to retirement.

Are you ready for retirement? If you are in your 50's, here are some things to check off your list to be prepared for retirement:
- Evaluate your current plan to make sure it's on track
- Review your investment strategies
- Review your social security statements for accuracies
- Consider Roth conversions
- Get out of debt
- Consider Long Term Care Insurance
- Make sure estate planning documents are in place and review beneficiary designations.
