Spend wisely and save smartly

June can be one of the best months of the year with summer well and truly on the way. But with all those holidays, weddings, anniversaries, and other spending, it can also be one of the most expensive too.

While you should be focusing on the present, it’s also important to be aware of how major outlays now can have a significant impact on your financial security in later life. A cashflow model can give you a clear picture of the consequences your spending and saving can have on your future.

It’s also good to know about the ways you can use your tax-free allowances wisely on certain expenditures. For example, your gifting allowances can let you pass on up to £3,000 a year to your loved ones without it being added to the value of your estate.*

Together, we can make a plan to help you live your life to the full now, while still having the retirement you want later on.

I have enjoyed spending time getting to know my clients over many years.

I specialise in Wealth and Pension Planning and my approach is very simple - know your client and advise as if it were your family or friends. I have on occasion, mentored over the years and as a mature adviser I find it far easier to focus on the correct pathway for the client and not be persuaded by any other influences. I aim to provide clear, practical and good value advice and be there for my clients along the journey.

I am married with three teenagers and a dog who keep me busy. I am also the Vice Chairman of the local football club and enjoy being a part of the grassroots community and helping run the club with my fellow committee members.
