When Socks and Jocks don’t cut it anymore.

We have a solution to avoid the old favourites: socks and jocks this Father’s Day. As this weekend is Father’s Day, the focus should be on Dad.

You can purchase the actual book or the digital copy so Dad can access year - round savings from his smart phone.

Part proceeds from your purchase, also helps a local Brisbane charity: Be Uplifted Inc Breast Cancer Charity – so everyone wins! Click here to purchase Dad his Entertainment Book subscription.

Another gift you could give Dad is encouragement. To encourage Dad to have a conversation with a financial adviser about his super and insurances. Why? Maybe Dad has started a new job or had a promotion. Maybe Dad is nearing retirement? When our lifestyle changes or work situation changes, it affects your super + insurances. Reviewing these regularly will make sure Dad stays on track.

Perhaps you know Dad has a few super funds hanging out there from previous jobs. This can affect a few things – especially Dad’s back pocket and can include inappropriate fund selection, doubling up on insurances and not to mention simply keeping track of them all.

Part of any super review process should include possible consolidation of funds into one appropriately invested, cost effective fund.

What if Dad becomes sick or sustains an injury that translates to time off work? What happens financially for Dad and the family then? These are things that should be considered in an insurance review.

So apart from a terrific Entertainment Book gift this Father’s Day, plant the seed with Dad to maybe have a review of his super and insurances?

Be informed. Be curious. Be ready for the future you.

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...

Are You Starting Again?

For those of you currently working in the resources industry, you would no doubt understand that the potential downside is the punishing rosters and long periods away from home that can take a toll on your family and personal life. Sure, the money is good for the most part, but it comes at a cost. Unfortunately, many marriages suffer irreparably and many industry workers find themselves having to “start again” after relationship breakdown and divorce. It can be an extremely difficult time and apart from the emotional strain, there’s the stress of having to rebuild financially. Quite often, you may find yourself in a situation where you’re left with minimal assets and essentially must start again. 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. The othe...
