The Financial Planning process is one of the most critical components of determining whether you will be able to enjoy your ideal retirement or suffer a retirement of low cash, compromises, and Centrelink queues.

If you can try to avoid these following most common mistakes, and identify your personal and financial goals, will can have a better probability of ensuring that you don’t run out of money in retirement.

Here are seven mistakes to avoid:

Chasing the market: you try to profit off the latest trends. Instead you should consider investing regularly and consistently.
Assets vs Liabilities: You only focus on repaying your low interest mortgage before focusing on your retirement plans.
Philanthropic: You jeopardise your own retirement by helping family members instead of helping yourself.
One last splurge: You take on additional debt in the final stages of your working life, without considering how this will impact other areas of your wealth accumulation.
Avoiding regular reviews: failing to stay up to date with all the tax, superannuation and legislation changes that can impact your retirement.
No Plan B or Contingency Plan: have you considered all potential risks e.g. political, health and unexpected risks.
Comprehensive life and financial goals: how can you create a plan for the future without goals?
