💥Did you know, about 75% of mortgages go through a broker – woo hoo! 💥

Are you in on the secret that roughly 75% of consumers already know?

Banks can only “sell” you the few products they have.... How do you know if they’re actually in YOUR best interests?!

Thanks to the Royal Commission a few years back, brokers are now bound to provide loan options to you that follow the rules and regulations set out under their “Best Interest Duty”… and if we don’t, we can get our PANTS sued off us!!

Banks, sell their products.... If you fit, and you want it, they’ll sell it to you and upsell as well. They have KPIs to meet, don’t you know!!

Brokers can assess your eligibility and suitability across MANY lenders and HUNDREDS of loans and do all the paperwork and running around for you! This saves you time, headaches, and confusion on what you actually qualify for and doesn't ruin your credit score by shopping around!

We treat you as our “client”, not a simple “customer”.
So, what are you waiting for... DM us to book a FREE call!

Planning a budget is a critical step towards achieving financial stability. If you're looking to build a budget, here are some steps to follow:

💰 Determine your income: Start by calculating your total income from all sources. This includes your salary, rental income, investment income, and any other sources of income.

📋List your expenses: Make a list of all your monthly expenses, including rent/mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, transport, entertainment, and any other expenses you have.

📁 Categorize your expenses: Once you have a list of all your expenses, categorize them into fixed and variable expenses. Fixed expenses are those that do not change much from month to month, such as rent or mortgage payments, while variable expenses are those that can vary from one month to the next, such as entertainment expenses.

🎯 Set your financial goals: Decide on your financial goals, such as paying off debt, saving for a house, or building an emergency fund. This will help you prioritize your expenses and allocate your money accordingly.

📊 Create a budget: Using the information you've gathered, create a budget that reflects your income, expenses, and financial goals. Be realistic and make sure you account for unexpected expenses.

🔍 Monitor your progress: Once you have a budget in place, monitor your progress regularly to ensure you're on track. Make adjustments as needed to stay on top of your finances.

Remember, building a budget takes time and effort, but the benefits are worth it. By following these steps, you can take control of your finances and work towards achieving your financial goals.

If you find it daunting, or you’re struggling to get your act together to do it on your own, we can help with our Financial Coaching services. Book a call from the link below to see how we can help.
