What’s the purpose of your money? How much is enough and do you have enough for each stage of your life? We all need enough to live day-to-day and having healthy reserves provides security and comfort. However all too often we find that many of our clients amass more than they need and have spent years unnecessarily worrying if they have enough money.
There is a sad side to looking back on your life and realising you’ve got lots of money left over. Ask yourself this; what would you have done differently if you had known this was always likely to have been the case?
The reality for many of our clients is that they can, and do, achieve so much more with their lives with the help of our very different approach to lifestyle financial planning. They achieve more of their ambitions and have a more rewarding life. They live life with less stress and greater peace of mind from having clarity about what is important to them and how they can achieve a life fulfilled.

- If I give some of my money to my children, will I still be able to live comfortably in retirement?
- What rate of investment return do I need to achieve my objectives?
- What is my estate’s likely inheritance tax bill, are there ways of reducing this?
- What if……?
