As the old saying goes, “Life is what you make it”. And that is certainly true when it comes to money. I want you to take 5 minutes right now to think about what you want the rest of your life to look like… What would you like to achieve in the next 12 months? […]
I often have people come to see me who have a goal of saving or investing money for their kids. The reasons vary… sometimes it’s with a view to paying for their education, in other cases, it’s with a goal of helping kids buy a house in the future. Or it may just be to […]
I love teaching people how to make the most of the money they work hard for! Most of them are just like you… they’re on average incomes, they’re not looking to become multi-millionaires, they’re not looking for fame and fortune — they want financial security for themselves and their family and they want someone to […]
