In a Relationship?

All personal relationships have their ups and downs and we work hard at our relationships to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

How is your relationship with your super? Have you taken the time to get to know your super balance and how it tracks?

How do you feel about your super? Does it make you feel happy or challenged when you think about fees, your balance and how your super fund communicates with you?

Just like any relationship in life, we need to pay attention, be in the moment, understand what works and what doesn't and have good two way communication so everyone feels valued and understood.

A review of your relationship with your superannuation and insurances is always a good idea.

Perhaps you are getting married or are in a relationship? Starting a life together is an exciting time. Where are you going to live? Do you plan on travelling? How about a family or the kids education?

These are just a few of the things that couples and families plan for. For the most part, we tend to base our life plans on happy times and experiences - nothing going wrong.

Things unfortunately can go wrong. What if we have a hiccup along the way? What if there’s an illness or an injury or even worse?

Not much fun to think about for any of us. And the "she'll be right" attitude, will it be really?

The positive to take out of this conversation and an important thing to know and understand is that most unforeseeable events can be planned for and insured against.

Is it perhaps time to review your superannuation and insurances together as a couple? Things can change – your work hours, job positions, the industry you work in, your renumeration, redundancy for example.

Tap here to make an online appointment – which can be a phone call, face to face or online discussion.

Flick me on text your latest super statements for me to review, and I will get back to you, or to you both to discuss options.

Don’t forget with any face to face meeting I have your return Uber covered - Brisbane CBD to our Hamilton Hindsight Wealth office.

Don’t just set your super and forget it. Get it working hard for you throughout your life so you don’t have to later on in life.

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...

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...

Does one size fit all when it comes to Superannuation?

Super Choice – how can employers help their employees? Since 1 July 2005, most employers have been required to give their employees a choice of fund for their superannuation guarantee contributions. It is only if the employee fails to choose, or chooses a fund which cannot be used by the employer, that the employer will be able to choose the fund. Prior to this, employees essentially didn’t have a choice and they were basically stuck with the fund their employer chose for them. In the past decade since “Super Choice” was introduced, there has been a great deal of competition in the superannuation market given that employees can choose where to put their money. A competitive market is good for consumers with an almost limitless choice of highly developed options for employees to choose from. So, what does this mean for employers? Well, in the early stages of this change it was essentially an administrative burden as large companies with large numbers of staff were faced with p...
