Financial Insights & Updates June 2022
Welcome to the June issue of Financial Insights and Updates.
As both inflation and interest rates continue to be tipped to rise, it is becoming increasingly important to limit spending and increase savings.
This month we have a series of videos from Moneysmart about spending and savings. These are especially useful either for the younger folks who have just started working or for anyone who is trying hard to find the right balance between spending and saving. Our articles ‘Keeping up with the Joneses: The bad habit that costs you’ and ‘Why the Key to Saving Money is Knowing when you have Enough’ provide further food for thought on these topics. As always feel free to forward our content to loved ones who you think might benefit from the information.
Our investment savvy readers might find the article ‘The cost of not investing’ a thought-provoking read, especially in these times where there’s heightened market uncertainty.
And if you have ever wondered about gaps in insurance premiums between the genders, our article ‘Men v Women: Who pays more when it comes to Insurance?’ will provide some interesting insight and figures.
In signing off, please remember that we are always available to answer any questions or queries you may have and to come speak with us before making any major investment decisions.
Warm regards,
