21.01.2022 If you’re planning to claim the Age Pension when you retire, then your eligibility for the Age Pension becomes important. One of the most important questions is whether you have reached your Age Pension age (and then whether you satisfy the Age Pension income and assets tests).

18.01.2022 Why Do Investors MESS It Up?

17.01.2022 While Australia has had an extraordinary run of good economic times, when it comes to employment the market is becoming more competitive, with unemployment trending upwards and wages flatlining. It's an environment where everyone young, old, self-employed or rusted-on staffer can benefit from an active approach to professional development. If youre not making the most of your capabilities, you might want to invest some time and energy in your most important asset yourself. [ 617 more words ] http://thinkingfinancial.com.au/7641-2/

16.01.2022 Australians merrily take out car insurance without a second thought but are more reluctant when it comes to protecting their family and lifestyle.

13.01.2022 Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Everything you’ve ever wanted is one step outside your comfort zone. Outside of the comfort zone is where the magic happens. Sound familiar? We’ve all heard the phrase before in a book, on a motivational poster, in a meme, as part of an ad. It’s the ubiquitous, go-to idiom for motivating people to do things that, well, they don’t really want to do. [ 592 more words ] http://thinkingfinancial.com.au/fear-factor-get-comfort-zo/

09.01.2022 Accessing super: What is your preservation age? Your preservation age is the age at which you can access your super, provided you have retired from the workforce or satisfied another condition of release. You can access your super benefits earlier than your preservation age, but only in limited circumstances, such as severe financial hardship, compassionate grounds or permanent disability. The minimum preservation age was 55 years (for those born before July 1960), and increased to 56 years from July 2015 (for those born after June 1960 but before July 1960), and increased to at least 57 years from July 2016 (for those born after June 1961).

06.01.2022 We all know how important it is to have a current will, even if we havent got around to it yet. But documenting what happens to your assets after you die is just the start of a comprehensive estate plan. Just as important as who gets the house or paintings when youre gone, is where and how you wish to be cared for in the final stages of life if you cant make those decisions yourself.

06.01.2022 We are all living busier lives and working longer hours. We all know we should exercise more, eat better and save more however we dont always achieve this. Why is this the case?? a simple explanation can be put back to accountability, you have no one to keep you accountable to make sure you are doing these things, or we dont know where to start.

05.01.2022 What makes us change? Why do we resist making improvements in our lives? Often you know you should take some action but but there is always a reason not to.

03.01.2022 The Value of Advice

03.01.2022 hey say you are what you eat, but what you buy and dont eat may say more about your future health and prosperity if you allow waste to chew away at potential grocery savings. Australians throw away a staggering $5.2 billion of uneaten and spoiled food every year.

02.01.2022 3 Ways your Super can save you Tax

02.01.2022 Hard to believe but, A 12 year longitudinal survey of more than 19,000 Australians has revealed some fascinating insights into our superannuation balances. The author of the most comprehensive long-term study of Australians believes superannuation will become the average Australians biggest asset in 13 years or sooner, overtaking housing the great Australian dream.

01.01.2022 When teaching your children to manage their money you are helping your kids grow into financially savvy adults. You might even learn something about your own money habits along the way.
