Financial Autonomy

Guidance Financial Services

Plenty of books, podcasts and blogs focus on building wealth – and that"s great, as far as it goes. But focusing just on wealth misses the point. I believe what most of us actually want is to have choice. Choice in how much time we give to income-producing activities. Choice about what those income-producing activities are. Choice about where we live. Choice about when we retire. Choice about the ways we use our money to produce happiness. In the Financial Autonomy podcast, I explore the

Solving the Asset Rich, Cash Poor problem at retirement

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/03/22

Given the large increases seen in property values in recent decades, combined with more and more of us living well into our 90s, the problem of being asset rich and cash poor is becoming increasingly common. Another way to frame this problem is something an old neighbour said to me once, “Paul, you can't eat bricks”. It's great to be financially secure and have significant assets behind you, but you need cash flow to pay the bills and put food on the table. That's easy enough whilst you are working,

Stepping Stone: Navigating the Property Market as a...

Financial Autonomy ·

2023/03/08

It's not uncommon for our clients to want to assist their children to get into the property market. Particularly in our major capital cities, we all know that prices are at levels that make it very difficult to accumulate an appropriate deposit and be able to service the level of debt required. Usually, parental assistance in the property market is achieved through a gift, or a lump sum of money to supercharge the deposit. Sometimes, parents might go guarantor on a loan, with all the risk this

This week to explore when you should be taking some time to look at your personal insurance. Appropriate insurance is an essential financial safety net, but we want to have the right levels of cover - not too much, and not too little - because insurance costs money, and that’s money you can’t use for other things like growing your wealth.

This week joining me on the podcast is Shelley Johnson, who, in addition to hosting the My Millenial Career podcast, recently co-authored a book with a friend of the podcast, Glen James from My Millenial Money.

Tax Implication Upon Receiving an Inheritance

One of the most common reasons for a new client joining us here at Guidance is due to the receipt of an inheritance, whether a traditional one upon the passing of a close family member, or increasingly frequently, an early inheritance where the family member has determined that they have assets in excess of their needs and wish to see their loved ones enjoy the gift during their lifetime.

2023/01/25

We're all familiar with traditional investments - stocks, property, term deposits. But there is a whole other universe of investments that get broadly bracketed together as "Alternative" investments. Alternatives could be classic cars, collectibles like guitars, stamps or coins, cryptos, futures funds, private equity, and precious metals. The rationale is diversification, but even more important than diversification is correlation of returns, the idea being that alternative investments operate on

Last week in one of our progress meetings I was asked by a client a very sensible question “why is record-low unemployment a bad thing?” His question arose from a news report that was attempting to explain the economic challenges currently faced and the concerns for 2023 and beyond. One of the explanations offered by the journalist was this “problem” of record low unemployment. But as my client observed, surely everyone having a job is a good thing. A totally reasonable assumption to make. So what's

How to Manage Sequencing Risk

If we’re asked what sort of return should be expected from an investment over the long run the tendency is to rely on the long term average, or perhaps lean on the conservative side and round down a percent or two. The reality however is that from one year to the next there is a high level of variability in returns. Sure, given long enough they may well deliver that long term average that you see published, but in any given year your actual outcome can be vastly different, both positive and
