How much should I be saving each month?
There’s no perfect number — but a good rule of thumb is to save at least 20% of your income if you can. Start smaller if needed. What matters most is getting into the habit and saving regularly. We help you figure out the right amount based on your goals — not someone else’s.
I don’t understand my work pension — what should I do?
You’re not alone. Many people don’t know how their pension works or what they’re entitled to. The first step is to find out what’s being contributed (by you and your employer) and where it’s invested. We’ll break it down and help you see what your pension is worth today — and what it could mean for your future.
Should I pay off debt or save first?
It depends. If your debt has high interest (like credit cards), paying that down is usually the priority. But it’s still smart to build a small emergency fund at the same time, so you’re not relying on debt again. We can help you find the right balance.
Is it too late to start a pension in my 40s or 50s?
Not at all. The earlier the better, yes — but starting now is always better than never. You may also be able to contribute more as you get older, and there are still tax benefits. We’ll help you make the most of the time you have.
What happens to my pension if I change jobs?
Good question. You don’t lose it — but you may need to take action to keep track of it or move it. We’ll explain your options and help you avoid losing out on savings or benefits.
How do I know if I have the right insurance cover?
Start by asking: If something happened to me, would my family be OK financially? Then look at your income, debts, dependents, and any cover you already have. We’ll do a full review and explain what’s necessary — and what’s not.
I’ve never worked with a financial advisor — is it only for wealthy people?
Absolutely not. Most of our clients are everyday professionals who simply want to feel more confident about their money. If you’re planning for the future — or just want to get more organised — we’re here for you.
