LIFE Quarterly – June 2017

LIFE Quarterly – June 2017

In this month’s edition of Prepare for Life, we recap on some of the key topics of this year’s Federal Budget, touching on bills that will see changes to the economy, housing affordability, tax, superannuation, education, aged care, social security and health.

It seems, in this day and age, with new technologies surrounding how we pay for things, we have lost accountability for our spending and sometimes living beyond our means.   We look back at the old days, before the plastic card and smart phone, to a time when we were better able to manage our monies.  If you would like to complete a new budget to help you better manage your funds, we will be happy to send this to you.

1 July is around the corner where we will see new legislation affecting contribution caps to superannuation, further limiting those of you who are building your retirement savings.  If you have any questions about how you can best utilise your time to contribute before June 30, do not hesitate to give me a call for a friendly chat.

As always, if there is anything in this issue that you’d like to discuss in further detail please do not hesitate to contact us

Sort Out Your Super in 2015

Taking a little time to look at your superannuation now can make a huge difference in the future. As this article from The New Daily explains, few of us are aware of how much super we have, what it’s invested in and how much we’ll need for retirement.

Many of us aren’t interested in how our super performs until we’re close to retirement but much like you check your bank statement each month, just checking your super is on track regularly can make such a difference later. Don’t leave it until it’s too late – make 2015 your year to get your super on track!
