Developing your Financial Roadmap...

No matter what stage of life you are at, managing your cash flow is an extremely important part of modern life.
The team at Seagrims well understand the differences and common needs of our clients.

Just starting out?

For someone just entering the workforce, even thinking about saving $40k for a house deposit is daunting, let alone actually doing it! Yet some people manage. What differentiates those who can and those who can't?

Double income no Kids? (DINKS)

Chances are you have a massive mortgage as well. It is absolutely essential you receive appropriate professional advice on how to structure this debt, and how to use your cash flow tax effectively. One day you may be reduced to one income for any number of reasons, and this possibility needs to be considered. Don't think you will be able to pay off your mortgage from an inheritance - today's retirees aren't planning on leaving much behind!

Family, 4WD and holidays with the in-laws?

There is enough pressure on the family unit today without adding money problems. If ever there is a time when life partners need to have discussed and agreed on a financial plan, it is during this stage. 

'Money problems' is a major contributing factor to divorce in Australia today. Your Seagrims adviser can help you focus and prioritise your spending to make sure the things that are important to both of you are protected.

The obligatory Mid-Life crisis?

One day it hits you: "If I save as much over the next ten years as I did over the last ten years, I'm going to have a pretty lean retirement".

It's about this time you start listening to the 'hot stock tips' from the local butcher, you 'invest' in a sure-fire options trading program, and the latest 'you beaut ponzi scheme' sounds too good to miss. Essentially, you are desperate to make up for lost ground. Please don't go down this path!

Contact your Seagrims adviser to help you get back on track.

Retirees?

You have a limited amount of money left to live on for the rest of your life. Security is paramount.

• Who should I trust for advice?
• Do I need advice?
• The retired bank manager at the bowls club has his money invested in shares, should I do that as well?
• How much should I be spending?

A plan for your retirement is just as important as a plan for building a house!

As one of Australia's leading independently owned* financial services firms, Seagrims can offer financial advice that is designed to meet your specific needs. Appropriate advice can only be given once your individual circumstances and needs have been reviewed. Peace of mind comes from knowing your invested money is safe with some of Australia's largest banks and investment companies, with the added comfort of only being a phone call away from your personal financial planner.
