3rd Inning (Ages 31 – 35)

Well, now you are in your early 30s. Your financial ballgame is in its 3nd inning. By now, you’ve likely finished college and have been working for a while. Maybe you skipped college and have started a small business or are otherwise employed and are settling into a career.

Whatever your situation, are your personal finances getting off to a solid start? Savings starting to grow? What players do you need to have on the field during this inning?

Here’s some common issues you may be facing in the 3rd inning:

  • Some “Little Leagers” starting to appear in your home?
  • Thinking of moving to a larger house? Need that extra bedroom now?
  • Selecting the right mortgage for your situation
  • Participating in your employer’s retirement program
  • Selecting the proper insurance program and coverage amounts for your changing needs
  • Funding an IRA
  • Creating or continuing winning savings and investing habits

Attend the Financial BallGame™ workshop “Early In The Game” to learn about these issues and lots, lots more, including:

  • College education savings for those Little Leaguers. What should you do? There’s those 529 plans, and then there’s the Educational Savings Accounts, and then the prepaid tuition plans. We will help you unravel this tangled mess so you can start socking some money away for their education.
  • What type of insurance protection do you need? House, auto, life, disability? This may be a great time to set up some permanent life insurance to insure your future. You may have term insurance through your employer, but what happens if you quit? Your insurance policy will leave you when you leave your job unless you convert it.
  • Are you renting your home? Check out the benefits of renter’s insurance. What if your house is burglarized? What if someone slips and falls in your house? You can’t afford to be without some protection.
  • Saving for your 1st home or your next home? Where is the best place for my money to grow?
  • Looking for a mortgage? You face a bewildering array of decisions; thousands of choices. Let Financial BallGame™ give you some valuable coaching about fixed rate loans, 15 or 30 year terms, adjustable mortgage benefits and pitfalls and what factors to consider when financing your new home. After all, your home may be the biggest purchase of your life.
  • So, are you a proud new homeowner? Take a look at your deductibles on your homeowners insurance and consider adding an umbrella policy for more protection from those curve balls life throws you. It’s like a HUGE catcher’s mitt for you!

So, ready or not, you’re up to bat. Take a deep breath. Grab the bat firmly in your hands, and get ready to swing! Take a deep breath…keep your eye on the ball, and SWING!!!

As your Financial Coach, we will help your batting skills as we cover these questions and more in our Early In the Game Workshop. Check out our “Workshop” Tab on the main menu for a peek at this exciting and informative session!
