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.

Originally from Venezuela, I’ve always had a deep connection to the UK, rooted in my British heritage through my grandfather. My passion for the culture and opportunities brought me here, where I pursued an MBA and worked in the hospitality industry as a chef, manager and business consultant.

This unique journey has given me invaluable experience in client service by creating tailored solutions to meet individual and business needs. Helping others has always been a natural calling for me. I find immense fulfilment in supporting family, friends, and colleagues to achieve better outcomes - whether by offering advice, listening during challenging times, or simply being a reliable point of reference. Financial planning allows me to extend this passion to my clients, helping them navigate complex decisions with trust and clear communication. I approach financial planning much like a personal trainer - providing guidance, encouragement, and a structured plan to help clients achieve their goals. I find great satisfaction in empowering individuals to see things differently and take charge of their financial futures with confidence.

Outside of work, my love for cooking remains strong, exploring new cuisines and cultures through travel is a constant source of inspiration for me. I also enjoy staying active and working out, which helps me connect with clients who value a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.
