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 came to the UK almost 25 years ago from India to work in the ICT industry for financial services clients. As a family, while we had a comfortable life style, we had no savings even in to our early forties. Then I lost my job at the age of 45 due to redundancy. At that point, the only assets we owned were a mortgaged house and savings in a deposit account. We had no investments, no pension and no provision for replacing lost income. While I was lucky to find another job, this was a wake-up trigger for me to start thinking about financial independence for my family.

It is my mission to ensure that you do not suffer with the same handicap. I now help individuals & company directors build their wealth, plan for a comfortable retirement and pass on wealth to the next generation – in the most tax efficient ways possible. My client engagement approach is simple & jargon-free - enabling clients to navigate topics like investment strategies, tax-efficient savings and effective retirement & inheritance planning with clarity and confidence.

In my free time, you can find me volunteering with Age UK, in a yoga class or on a tennis court. I have a grown-up daughter as my only child, who finds me quite irritating. I live in outer London (Purely, Surrey) and advise clients in and around London & Surrey.
