Are you approaching a Big Life event?

7 December 2020

Moving out of home? Getting married? Having children? Facing going solo? Turning 60? About to retire? Dealing with aged care placement?

Antonia Gapes

These are indeed big events to deal with both emotionally and financially. There are circumstances that will raise opportunities as well as vulnerabilities with any of the above; a time to make sure your day to day life can be maintained with whatever may be thrown at you, and life can deal some doozies; good and not so good. This is where a Financial Adviser comes in, to help a clients’ journey throughout their life with financial advice that will build and protect their wealth putting them in the best financial position.


Often I hear people say they haven’t got enough money to worry about getting financial advice…. Nooooo, WRONG! If you need your current income then you need to at least have a conversation about your financial situation.


To make sure you can do that our first meeting has no fee and I am taking appointments across the holiday season. Start the New year by making an appointment today.


Explore some of the big life events in more detail below:

Dealing with aged care
8 December 2020
There may come a time to make decisions when they can longer stay at home which will be heart wrenching. When someone you love can no longer live in their home due to needing assisted living care, for family this is a highly emotional time. Often families are responding to a health emergency from a fall or trip to hospital, or catching up with a parent, that does not live nearby, after months and need to make a plan while they are visiting.
Getting Married - Financial Planning
8 December 2020
I remember when I was getting married, I wondered what I would think about once the wedding was done, it is so mind consuming! Honour and Obey may not be mainstream in vows, regardless there is another person to consider and whose back you have.
Having Children - Financial Planning
8 December 2020
It is an exciting time welcoming a new family member to the world while for the mum to be, fatiguing! In addition to working out baby names, another consideration is ensuring you have provision for this little one having a safe financial passage while under your care.
Financial Implications of Going Solo
8 December 2020
Two becoming one has its challenges. Treading the path alone and working out what you can do with your split just part of the challenge.
Turning 60.  Super and financial considerations.
8 December 2020
So many people turn 60 and miss the boat. Hitting 60 is this magically twilight time that happens for a short period and should not go unchecked. This twilight period is when your superannuation is able to receive money in and draw money out (rules and limits apply of course).
About to retire
8 December 2020
The light at the end of the tunnel shines brightly and is the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the income you can access in retirement. How you will fund your retirement often determines when people decide to retire. If you need to factor in an aged pension to put a base in your income each year and then looking to maximise this could be key.
Moving out of home
7 December 2020
It is exciting setting up your own pad. Largely moving out of home generally falls into 2 categories; you are likely pursuing work or completing studies. Of course, there are a raft of instances that do not fall into either category. The assumption I will make is you are having to secure some level of income to pay your day to day bills.
