Our podcast is all about having real, honest conversations about money. We believe that talking openly about our personal finances is the first step to building a better financial future for ourselves and our community.

That's why this week and next, we're bringing you a two-part financial planning series in collaboration with Lighthouse Financial.  Christine and her partner Ollie are put in the hot seat as Wealth Director & Financial Adviser, James Blair, takes them through a financial plan together.

This episode in particular is likened to a first adviser-client meeting, where James understands Christine & Ollie’s financial goals, ambitions and intended direction.
More specifically, they chat about:

• Christine & Ollie’s short, medium and long-term financial goals
• The lay of the land - where are they currently sitting financially
• How much they’re saving on a fortnightly basis, and what they’re doing with it
• How their investment portfolio is split between assets
• Knowing when to consider investing in property or not
• How a financial plan works, including the next steps
