TUCSON - Today on "4 Your Money," our financial "can-do" contributor Tiana Ronstadt stopped by with seven ways to pinpoint the "fast lanes" and "roadblocks" on your path to financial independence.
Here they are:
1. Check your credit report at least twice a year.
2. Get your credit score above 700.
3. Have a living revocable trust, will, advance directive and durable power of attorney... for healthcare?
4. Get overdraft protection on your checking account ?
5. Know your monthly expenses... Don't guess.
6. Have a well thought out investment plan... For when the market falls.
7. Realize... a 65 year old woman today has a 50-50 chance of living to 85.
Check out the video above for a complete discussion on financial independence.
