Stay a Step Ahead!

Seasons greetings for 2016

As we edge towards Christmas and sharing a break with family and friends, it’s a time for giving, reflection and evaluation.

As a father of two boys, a lot of my family time recently has been spent preparing our house to make Christmas special and this includes thinking about what we can give our kids.

Every parent wants to give their kids all they can, to make their child hood years fun and engaging and to set them up for life in the future.

One such gift we can all provide our kids is money management skills and with free time over the break it’s a good opportunity to influence this.

Our feature article today is about helping kids become more financially aware and as this article shows, it is never too early to start.

We’d also like to take the opportunity to thank all our clients who participated in our client feedback survey. You gave up a lot of your valuable time and your comments will be instrumental in how we continue to evolve and improve into 2017.

To all of our wonderful clients, team, business partners and extended network, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and we hope to see you all in 2017.

Have a wonderful day.

James and the team at Yield

FAQ – How Much Income Do I Need To Retire?

The answer to this is entirely dependent on you, however the Association of Super Funds do publish a figure each year and the latest figures say for an Australian couple to retire comfortably they’d need $58,000.

When we are helping our clients determine what is right for them, we start by breaking out what they need and what they want. It’s important to have enough to meet your basic needs, like bills and groceries and by isolating your need we can prioritise affording the things that you want.

There are other considerations involved with this answer including whether you budget for the same level of income until your life expectancy or allow for a greater amount early, when you are likely to be more active.
