THE CAREER CHANGE FINANCIAL PLANNER

Ever stop to consider how much money you’ll earn in your lifetime?? Even if you earned a modest $35,000 a year for a 40-year work life and never got a single raise, you’d wind up earning $1.4 million over your lifetime. Ignoring whether that covers the cost of living, inflation, and the fact that whatever you earn, it’s never enough — you have to admit that’s still a pretty decent chunk of change, something that’s worth managing carefully.

In his article Your Career Could Be Your Most Valuable Asset, Mike Haubrich, founder of Financial Service Group, Inc., and originator of the financial planning concept Career Asset Management, weighs in on just that — why those of us in the workforce need to think about our careers as assets of value to be carefully managed, just as we do our savings, investments, and homes.
