Most of us have done last-minute planning for something or the other! It could be a school project, a vacation or even some office-related work!
Sometimes the delay could be leaving late for somewhere you are supposed to go, and sometimes, it could simply be delaying an investment!
Or planning your taxes.
But delaying things and then doing it in a hurry can sometimes leave you with inadequate time to make a choice which could be optimum for you.
For instance, if you leave your tax planning for the end of the year, you may not be able to choose an option which suits you the best.
