Guest Post for Farrar Gesini Dunn - The value of financial advice
So you have been told to seek financial advice……. What on earth will that involve and what is the point when it’s all going to change anyway?
Financially preparing for a baby
So you want to have a baby. Congratulations, life is about to get very real! This is an exciting time emotionally but it can be a challenging time financially. You have probably both been working full time and are now wondering how you will survive on one wage (with increased expenses!)
Co Contribution – is it worth it?
What is it?
The federal government gives away money (hello did you hear me – free money!) to anyone who makes a non-concessional (after-tax) contribution to their super fund, and who earns less than $51,021 a year (for the 2016/2017 year). The tax-free giveaway is officially called the co-contribution scheme.
Women and Wealth
Have you noticed lately the buzz talk around women and their wealth (or lack of it!)? It’s certainly one of the reasons I get out of bed each day, to educate and empower women (and men!) to make smart decisions with their money. Joan Baker cleverly wrote the book A Man is Not A Financial Plan (yes I have big envy on that book title!). Many of my clients actually tell me that they are just not interested in managing the finances.
Show me the Money!
More than ever I hear people saying “I earn a good wage but I have no idea where my money goes”. Does this sound like you? Or someone you know?
