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 am a financial planner from Lingfield on the Surrey/Sussex border. I am here to guide you and your family through the sometimes complex world of financial planning. I start with a simple premise. My job is to get your money working for you in the best and most tax efficient way for you to see your money achieving whatever financial goals you have set.

I have had a varied career, from working in financial services to running a commercial investigation business to owning my own Italian restaurant. These experiences help me really understand all sorts of different people and particularly their goals and motivations. I firmly believe that with financial planning we start with the end result we want and then work back. We set things up properly and outline the path that will get us there. We review, adapt and protect as we go along and make those goals happen.

When I am not working, I love to travel and have visited numerous countries around the world; everything from the wilds of Chilean Patagonia to the rainforests of Malaysia. I also enjoy all sport with a particular interest in horse racing. At home I like a decent glass of red wine and spending time with my family, friends and 2 rescue dogs, Patti from Serbia and Munch from Romania.
