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.

A busy career in recruitment followed by motherhood and running a start-up. These are some of the reasons I let financial planning take a back seat. That is, until life threw some unexpected curveballs my way and it could no longer be ignored! Throughout life, our aims and priorities are constantly shifting. A financial plan should accommodate these changes and allow for the unexpected. Working with a financial planner should leave you feeling empowered and give you peace of mind. Whether it’s growing your wealth, planning for retirement, making the most of personal tax allowances, or just reviewing where you are “at”. I’d love to help!.
