Typically, your forties is a time of established careers, teenage kids and a mortgage that is no longer daunting. There are still plenty of demands on the budget, but at this age, there is a good chance there's some spare cash that can be put to good use.
The 40s are, for many people, a critical decade for building wealth. Juggling priorities can be a challenge, and financial mistakes made in this stage of life can have a large bearing on the size of your fortune at retirement.
Forewarned is forearmed, so if you're entering or already amidst this decade of life, now is the perfect time to step-up your financial plan and take control of your financial future.
