Are you starting over?

For those of you working in the resources industry, you would no doubt understand the potential downside is the punishing rosters and long periods away from home that can take a toll on family and personal life. Sure, the money is good for the most part, but it comes at a cost.

Unfortunately, some marriages suffer irreparably and many find themselves having to “start over” after relationship breakdown or divorce.

It can be an extremely difficult time and apart from the emotional strain, there’s the stress of having to rebuild financially. You may find yourself in a situation where you’re left with minimal assets and essentially must start over.

In this situation, it’s critical to make sure you have your superannuation structured and invested correctly.

If you’ve come through a divorce with your superannuation intact, it may end up being your biggest asset.

You really need to get it working for you and you need to make sure your income is adequately insured.

If you’re starting over, the income you’ll earn between now and retirement is extremely important in helping you to build an asset base to fund you in your later years.

Times are tough. How can you position yourself to minimise the impact?

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to say the least. We’re battling a world wide health crisis and we face uncertainty in many aspects of our lives. It’s true that there are simply some things beyond our control and we will more than likely see many changes to our everyday lives for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. So, what can be done? On the other side of this, many people will be left with dramatic financial stress, whether it be periods of unemployment, depleted cash reserves or battered superannuation balances. And for many, timing will be an issue. Those who were weeks ago contemplating retirement may now need to change their plans. And those that are still accumulating for retirement have more than likely just seen their investments and superannuation return to levels of 5 or 6 years ago. Essentially the clock has be wound back in one way or another. It may well be a good time to take stock and lay some foundations for when thing...

There is no better time than right now to review your super!

So by now we all know that Australian and global investment markets have fallen significantly, it’s on the news, in the papers and I’ve been publishing recent posts about it on LinkedIn. What’s causing it? Truth is, it doesn’t really matter. Oil prices are down, there’s talk of China slowing, commodity prices are down and so forth. Historically there is always something occurring on the world stage that can cause negativity in markets. Investors start to worry, they sell their investments at low prices, lock in losses only to have someone come along, buy them up and enjoy the gains as things recover. Warren Buffet, the world’s most famous stock market investor famously said, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient”. And we can see this today. As I write this, global stock markets suffered a large decline over night, with the expectation being that the Australian market would follow this morni...

Don't Wait till you're in your 60's to see a Financial Adviser

Ask most 30-year old’s who their financial planner is and the typical response might be ‘huh?’ After all, financial advisers are for older people with plenty of money to invest, aren’t they? Well, yes, people nearing or in retirement will benefit from sound advice. But so will younger people. With the benefit of having time on their side, and with some help from an adviser, a 30-something can easily establish a wealth creation plan that can deliver a big payoff in the future. Harness compound interest It’s been called the most powerful force in the universe, and compounding returns – earning interest on your interest – can deliver dramatic results. Imagine that, at age 30, you commence a simple savings plan. You contribute $2,000 each year to an investment that delivers an after-tax return of 6% pa. After 30 years you will have contributed a total of $60,000, but your investment will be worth $158,116. The magic of compound interest will have delivered you an effortles...
