With Australia’s most significant student assessment now behind us, it got me thinking… are we teaching our kids enough about money management and, as a whole, are Australians lacking financial education? I started investing in property in 1993 when I was only 18. At that time, I had no idea what I was doing, and I’m not ashamed to say I got lucky. But more importantly, during the process of buying my [...]
The Dalai Lama, one of the world’s great spiritual leaders often talks about how to overcome everyday human problems and achieve lasting happiness. Having time off over the silly season to relax we found ourselves reflecting on this and looking back on the past 12 months. Was there enough happiness during our days? Were we doing things in life that brings us joy? “Let your success be measured by how [...]
Financial freedom will mean different things to different people. You need to know where you want to go and what you want to be, so it is important that you are consciously aware of the endless possibilities and keep your heart and mind open to receive them. Your financial freedom is probably different to the next person’s as you will want different things. One of our clients has the dream [...]
Wealth means differing things to different people. Wealth is abundance. It encompasses everything from money, investments, health, education, knowledge and relationships. Everyone these days, with the changes in the marketplace, needs to find a better way to create their own financial futures. I believe, having purpose set goals in many areas of life over the last twenty plus years, that goal setting is where it starts. Achieving what we want does [...]
Leonie was recently interviewed by the Daily Mail in regards to a recent study which was conducted about the ‘magical’ sum which is required to be happy.

Leonie told the journalist that she and her husband are focused on building a comfortable [...]

It’s the time of year where people are thinking about all they’ve achieved (or not achieved) and planning for what they would like to accomplish in the coming year. Everyone’s talking about New Year resolutions and setting goals but we don’t necessarily agree with those. We’re big believers in if you get your habits right, the rest falls in to place along with a little planning and setting some intentions. [...]
The sad reality is the majority of us are drastically under prepared when it comes time to retire, particularly women: - Approx. 70% of Australians aged 65 or over currently live on a gross weekly income of less than $300.* - Approx. average retiring income $16,000* p.a. - $1,000,000* approx. amount required to retire comfortably for 2 decades. Most of us at retirement age have less than a third of [...]
I will be forever grateful to my Dad for introducing me to the world of property when I was just 18yrs old. I don’t think he quite realised at the time what an extremely powerful opportunity he was presenting which has allowed me to go on and create a much better financial future for myself than he could have imagined at the time. I guess you could say my Dad [...]
The year was 1993, I was 18 years old and Dad helped me purchase an investment property with some friends after I’d received an insurance payout from a car accident I was involved in when I was just 11.
