Video transcript - Financial planning
Everyone has dreams for their future. Maybe it's owning your own home, security for your family, or maybe it's retiring to travel the world.
In any instance, having a financial plan in place now will help to achieve what you want. A financial planner can help. Their advice can benefit anybody at any stage of life. For example, Sarah is 29, engaged, and has worked full-time for the last five years. She wants to save to buy a new home, and eventually work and travel overseas. Based on her individual circumstances, a financial planner will assess, and then advise on different financial strategies that will help her achieve her goals. In Sarah's case, financial advice could be focused on implementing saving strategies, so she can buy her first home and travel.
A financial planner will always provide tailored advice specifically for you, because everyone's situation is unique. Advice for Sarah may not be the same for someone else, like Mike and Ava. Mike and Ava are in their mid-thirties, have two children, a mortgage and a car loan. Based on Mike and Ava's goals, their financial advice may be more focused on reducing their debts and securing their financial future for their young family.
So what do you need to consider before speaking with a financial planner? Firstly, have a think about what you want to achieve and your current financial position, including any assets you have. With this information, you can put a financial plan in place to help you achieve your goals.
Secondly, just as everybody's situation is different, so too is the cost of advice that a reputable financial planner will charge you. Basic advice may only require one meeting, whereas more complex advice may need more. So, no matter what your current financial position is, or what you want to achieve, a financial planner can help put you on the right track to securing your financial future and achieving your goals.
Understanding Market Volatility
During periods of market downturn, it’s understandable you may be concerned about the value of your super and/or other investments you may hold. While disruptions can be unwelcomed, falls within financial markets are not uncommon.

• Retirement strategy and planning
