24.01.2022 We hate hearing stories like this. Good, hard working folk who have lost everyhting. We really feel for them! It's such a shame there are (always) a few rogues (in any industry) who give the good guys a bad reputation. At 2M we pride ourselves on giving good, honest advice which is in our clients best interest. We would never recommend something we either haven't done ourselves or wouldn't do ourselves. We would never recommend a product which isn't above board, well-resear...ched and completely independant to us. We ALWAYS put our clients interests 1st! We wish Barbara and Paul well and hope they can recover their hard earned, life-long savings! See more

22.01.2022 If you are interested in property and seeing how much your place might be worth or how much places rent for this is a great site. Wishing you a great week ahead. Happy Monday!

18.01.2022 A very interesting article in the SMH at the weekend! Your house could be earning more than you!
16.01.2022 WOW! What a roller coaster ride on share markets we are having at the moment ... and which looks set for a while longer. But worth remembering there are LOTS of businesses and LOTS of industries out there doing well at the moment. Think Coles, Woolies & ALDI, even Bunnings as people have time to do those home jobs they've been putting off. Also technology - think ZOOM and other virtual meeting platforms. Pharmaceutical industries..... Toilet roll sales have gone through the ...roof and there has also been a 30% increase in the sales of beer & wines. So it's not all doom & gloom. Now is the time to sit tight and ride the roller coaster ride out. We're all in this together and we WILL get through this. Stay safe, keep your social distance everyone and have a GREAT week!

15.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? More than 2.5 m people accessed their super under the covid-19 hardship scheme last financial year with most people aged under 40. To be eligible you must have seen your income drop by 20 percent or more and to make a claim this needs to me made through the mygov web site. For a 30 year old, if they accessed their super (the full $20k from last year and this financial year) could result in a $100,000 detriment to their final retirement balance. Worth thinking about if you are thinking of accessing your super early! Is it really worth risking?

12.01.2022 PUTTING SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE CURRENT MARKETS: There is no denying we have seen considerable volatility in the markets over the past few weeks since the ASX was at it's all time high of around 7,200 on 20th February and whilst the overall trend since then has been down we've enjoyed a few very good days along the way. Tuesday 10th March we saw the ASX open at 5,500 and close at 6,000 posting the best single day return since the GFC. Friday 13th saw the ASX open at 5,150, dr...op to 4,800, rebound to 5,690 and end the day at 5,690 - the single best day on the ASX EVER!!! Yesterday saw the ASX open at 4,850 and close at 5,050 posting over a 5% return in a single day. So whilst we are in for a roller coaster ride for some time yet until there is more clarity around covid 19, there is no denying it's not all bad news. Remember investing is long-term and all this short-term volatility is what we often refer to as noise! Please do reach out to us if you wish during this difficult time - we are only a phone call or email away. Take care & stay safe! See more
09.01.2022 NOW MORE THAN EVER WE ALL NEED TO MAINTAIN STRONG MENTAL WELL-BEING. Here are our 5 tips; 1. Stay active - take a walk every day, have a dance and even stand-up whilst you're watching the TV or on the phone 2. Connect socially - rather than an email or text pick up the phone or make contact via whatsapp or zoom 3. Give back to others - do something nice for someone whether it's a friend or neighbour 4. Continue learning - an instrument, language or start a new hobby. Even try... a new recipe 5. Take notice (of yourself) - take regular breaks in your day, listen to music, read a book, smile and be grateful for what you have. Sleep well and avoid stress! Finding it tough? Then reach out....

09.01.2022 Having a bit of fun this morning at Balmoral...and before you ask, no, we're not starting a new fashion label, we're sticking to what we do best (financial planning, mortgages, finance etc). Getting a few family photos for the 2M web site. Thanks Ben Holmes from Ben Holmes Photography!
09.01.2022 In these unusual and uncertain times we all need to do our bit. We encourage you all to do the three - keep your distance, install the app and regularly wash your hands - and if you are in the Mosman area you know where to come!
09.01.2022 Profile on FG (Finance Geoff)" the 2M Equipment and Vehicle Finance Guy! I have been arranging equipment, machinery and vehicle finance for well over 35 years and during that time I have held senior positions in Banks and Finance Companies in both marketing and credit before becoming a finance broker. My experience in marketing and credit enables me to structure transactions that will meet existing Banking requirements and compliment your borrowing structures and objectives.... I have arranged finance from a $10,000 office machine to multi-million-dollar aircraft and help clients consisting of sole traders and small businesses to multi-national companies. So whether you are after a new van or ute or even a car for your business, maybe some new tools, computers, office furniture or even a coffee machine (if you run a coffee shop or restaurant) I’d love to hear from you. As a finance broker I always have our client’s interest at heart. I will work with you to ensure you are getting the most efficient finance facility and I am there for you for the duration of the finance period, not just getting you the loan! Working in conjunction with the rest of the team at 2M we want to ensure you are always on top of your total finance objectives. Away from the desk, I am a keen supporter of most sports, in particular I can be seen every weekend during the cricket season helping out at the local grade club (I’m a bit of a cricket tragic and you would probably want me on your Trivia team). I have played the game, umpired, scored and administered and now make great chicken burgers and outstanding afternoon teas. I am also a keen bridge player. I am a family man with married children and young grandchildren who often join me at cricket. At 2M we always put our clients first!" See more
08.01.2022 In your 40's? Then we need (to help) you!

By retirement, we have 2 golden rules; a place to live and a truck load of super. Our mission: to help you! Our team is passionate about helping our clients and we want to make sure you grow & protect your wealth.... Call one of the team today. We'd love to hear from you and love to help! See more
06.01.2022 Profile on Colin Mc Gowan the 2M Mortgage-man! With over 30 years’ experience in Banking and Finance I have seen a lot of change. I have a wide background in the Banking and Finance sector including Project Management, Senior Corporate Manager and Senior Credit Union Manager roles and for the past 8 years as a Finance Broker. I am able to offer our clients a diverse range of skills, of experience, contacts and success which, with a can do attitude and a personal attitud...e of being a partner to my clients, I build strong ongoing relationships. Why use a Broker? With over 30 lenders available I am best placed to find the most suitable outcome for my clients. A favorite saying of mine is you don’t know what you don’t know and in relation to Finance, as someone in the business I will help you navigate this complex area and tell you what many others won’t! I see Finance Structuring as critical to achieve great outcomes and this is an area I focus on intently. Away from the desk I am married with 2 grown up children who, you guessed it, still enjoy living at home! I am a keen golfer, am a first-grade soccer coach, a mentor and have strong local community involvement- yes, a sports lover always looking for ways to improve. I also enjoy finding my next favorite wine (a passion I share with Jon). I am an important part of the close knit 2M Team where we pride ourselves on looking after our clients first. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email. See more

We look forward to being of assistance to you throughout 2020 & beyond!
05.01.2022 Profile on Jon; "Born in England in the swinging 60's I came to Australia in the mid 90-s - on a plane, not a boat! I started my career as a Financial Planner in 1997 so I'm apparently now a veteran. Whilst I am able to provide advice in many areas, my main focus these days is ensuring our clients' super is working for them in preparation for retirement and then once retired continuing to look after their money to see them through their retirement. With 2 young children most... of my free time is spent K-ubering my kids to and from school, sport and activities and as many of you know I do enjoy a good glass or 2 of red! My motto is to always look after client's money as if it were my own and I would never recommend anything I'm not comfortable with and wouldn't do myself. Over the years I have helped guide many clients to a financially healthy retirement to allow them do do those things they've always wanted. I like to pride myself on providing excellent customer service with good quality and affordable advice." See more

03.01.2022 Maybe time to diversify your portfolio? Wishing you all a covid-safe weekend!
03.01.2022 Some valuable insight from Black Rock Investments to keep things in perspective - investors should be level-headed, take a longterm perspective and stay invested: The scale of financial market moves in response to the coronavirus outbreak has been reminiscent of the global financial crisis. We do not think this is 2008, however. The virus shock’s impact will likely be large and sharp, but we believe investors should be level-headed, take a longterm perspective and stay invest...ed. The economy is on more solid footing and, importantly, the financial system is much more robust than it was going into the crisis of 2008. This is a time for investors to keep a long-term perspective. The ultimate depth and duration of the coronavirus’ economic impact are highly uncertain, but we still believe the shock should be temporary as the outbreak will eventually dissipate and economic activity will normalize assuming the needed policy response is delivered.
02.01.2022 In these uncertain times we would like to re-assure all our clients that we are open for business - even if remotely. You can contact Jon, Geoff, Andrew, Colin or Finance Geoff by mobile, text, email, what'sapp .... but no faxes please! We ask you all to kindly respect the new social distancing laws and take care of yourselves - we're all in this together!

It could be the best decision you've ever made! See more
