Financial foundation building blocks

Here are the 10 financial building blocks that you must have in place (according to Mark Rothstein AKA Mr. Money):

1.  Money Management  - create a budget, understand where your money is coming from and where it is going, create an investment plan, and automate it.
2.  Estate Planning - Get a living trust and a will so that if anything ever happens to you your family will be taken care of.
3.  Credit and Debt - get rid of your credit card debt as quickly as possible, credit utilization should be below 30% of your credit available, work to get your credit score higher than 710 and keep it there.
4.  Income Taxes - get a good CPA to help you do your taxes, a lot of money is lost simply because people don't take advantage of various tax right offs and implement tax saving strategies that a good CPA can help you find.
5.  Insurance - make sure you have sufficient insurance so that a medical or dental issue doesn't cause you financial hardship.
6.  Understand the Economy - understand the current fiscal and monetary policies being implemented.
7.  Investment - Educate yourself on various investment strategies and get expert advice to know how to invest your money in the right markets.
8.  Real Estate - know where and when to invest and when to wait.
9.  Retirement - create a retirement plan now and automate it.
10.  Money and Relationships - you and your spouse need to be on the same page financially.
