​A comprehensive financial plan takes into account all aspects of your financial life, highlighting how one part — and even just one decision — can affect the others. Think of it as a money ecosystem with a “butterfly effect.” Such a plan illuminates your entire financial system, highlighting interactions and allowing you to make informed decisions. 
The ABCs of a Comprehensive Financial PlanComprehensive financial plans are characterized by clarity and prioritization. One conundrum many people struggle with is funding conflicting goals that overlap. A great example is retirement and saving for a child’s college education. In this type of situation, questions that typically spring to mind include:

• How do you decide which goals to pursue?
• How much savings do you allocate to each goal?
• What savings time period is best for these savings goals?
• When do you start?

When you develop a comprehensive plan, you spend time examining each of these goals to determine the proper priority within your personal life vision. This complete process helps you make more informed decisions about how to save and spend.
