You may have some knowledge of the industry but the average Australian works 50 hours in a week. What they don’t tell us about is the amount of time it takes to travel to work. Now if you’re in Sydney, Brisbane or Western Australia, your travel time can be 2 plus hours one way.

It is important to know what a financial adviser can and can not do. For example, if you are 65 and have nothing in super, there isn’t going to be a lot a financial planner can do to help you retire next week.

Financial planners are looking for short, medium and long term results for their clients. The will look at everything from Budgeting Cash flow management and salary sacrificing Protecting your lifestyle and family Consolidating super and investment options in super Assisting with a Self-managed Super Fund Investments and managed funds Retirement planning Government benefits for retirees, semi retirees and potential retirees Transitioning to retirement Aged care Wills and succession planning

Highly paid and skilled workers would benefit the most. They will benefit from strategies like:

  • Being tax efficient
  • Putting money away for a rainy day
  • Protecting lifestyle and income should something unexpected occur
  • If there is enough in super, a self-managed super fund.

Without knowing your personal circumstances, it would be best to get a skilled financial planner to create a success strategy for you. Of course you don’t need a big wage to make a huge impact and set yourself up for the future. If you don’t want to rely on the government in retirement, you should fill in our two minute form.
