Now that 2012 is drawing to a close, you may want to review the progress you’ve made this past year in many areas of your life — including your financial situation. Toward that end, here are a few questions to ask yourself: First, are you investing either too aggressively or too conserva- tively? Either extreme can trip you up on the road to achieving your financial goals. Next, are you contributing as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan? If not, you should — these types of plans offer tax-deferred growth potential and the ability to contribute pre-tax dollars. Finally, do you have sufficient life and disability insurance? Without this protection, your overall financial outlook could be jeopardized. Before the clock runs out on 2012, take the time to ask yourself the above questions. The answers may well spur you to take positive action in 2013.
