Wealth Wednesday 💭

September has arrived. So, what financial decisions are still waiting for you?

There are only four months left of 2026.

For many of us, September feels like a reset — children back to school, routines returning and the final stretch of the year suddenly in sight.

And that can be a good time to ask:

What financial decisions have you been putting off?

Your pension.
Your investments.
Your tax position.
Your retirement plans.
Your estate.
Or simply understanding where your money is actually going.

You don’t have to make every decision today.

But starting the conversation now could give you time to make the right decisions before the year comes to an end.

What financial decision would you most like to have sorted before 2027?

💷 Monday Money Tip

Financial literacy is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children.

Teach them about money now, and you open the door to confidence, choice and financial independence later in life.

Give them the knowledge to make their own financial decisions. 💚

THOUGHTFUL FRIDAY 💭

Are you financially organised — or just financially busy?

You might have a pension.

Savings.

Investments.

Insurance.

A Will.

Maybe even several old workplace pensions you’ve collected along the way.

But here’s the question…

Do you actually have a plan?

It’s easy to feel like you’re being financially responsible because you have money in all the “right” places.

But if you don’t know what you have, why you have it, what it’s costing you, who it’s for or whether it still fits your life today — you might simply be financially busy rather than financially organised.

And as summer comes to an end, September can feel like a natural reset.

The holidays are over. Routines return. There are only four months left of the year.

So rather than giving yourself another huge list of things you should sort out…

Pick one financial loose end and finally deal with it.

Find that old pension.

Check your beneficiaries.

Review your protection.

Look at your investments.

Get your Will updated.

Work out what you actually need for retirement.

Sometimes getting your finances in order doesn’t mean doing everything.

It just means starting with one thing.

💭 What’s the one financial job you’ve been putting off?

Thinking you can access your pension at 55? Think again.

From 6 April 2028, the Normal Minimum Pension Age (NMPA) is increasing from 55 to 57 for most people.

That means if you’re planning to retire or access your pension in your mid-50s, this could affect you.

The key dates:

📅 Before 6 April 2028
The normal minimum pension age is 55.

📅 From 6 April 2028
The normal minimum pension age becomes 57.

There are some important protections and exceptions, including for certain existing pension arrangements where a protected pension age applies.

So if you’re approaching 55 and have been thinking:

“I’ll just take some of my pension at 55…”

…it’s worth checking exactly what your pension scheme allows and whether you have any protected rights.

This is particularly important if you’re considering consolidating or transferring pensions, as the decision can have implications for protected pension ages.

💡 My tip: Don’t wait until you’re 55 to find out when you can actually access your pension.

Do you know what age you can access yours?

Monday Money Tip 💷

Earning over £100,000? Don’t just look at the tax rate. Look at what you could lose.

£100,000 is an important threshold because going above it can have a knock-on effect on several areas of your finances.

For example, if your adjusted net income is £101,000:

🔹 Personal Allowance – you start losing your £12,570 tax-free allowance. It reduces by £1 for every £2 of income over £100,000.

🔹 Personal Savings Allowance – if you become a higher-rate taxpayer, your allowance can reduce from £1,000 to £500. Additional-rate taxpayers receive no Personal Savings Allowance.

🔹 Dividends – the Dividend Allowance is currently £500, but dividends above this are taxed at the applicable dividend tax rate.

🔹 Tax-Free Childcare – if you have children, going over £100,000 adjusted net income can mean losing eligibility for Tax-Free Childcare.

This is why the £100,000 “tax trap” can result in a much higher effective marginal rate than you might expect.

And this is where planning can make a real difference.

For some people, pension contributions or other forms of income planning could reduce adjusted net income, potentially helping to preserve valuable allowances and benefits.

💡 My Monday money tip: If your income is approaching £100,000, don’t wait until the end of the tax year to look at the numbers.

Have you checked what going over £100,000 could actually cost you?

Thoughtful Friday 💭

When did you last review your investments?

It’s easy to choose an investment, put it away and forget about it.

But your circumstances can change. Your goals can change. Your timescale can change. And your attitude to risk can change too.

That doesn’t mean you should be constantly moving your money around.

Sometimes, a review simply confirms that everything is still on track.

💡 Helpful hint: If you haven’t reviewed your investments for a while, take a look at whether they still match what you’re trying to achieve, and the level of risk you’re comfortable taking.

When did you last give your investments a proper review?

WEALTH WEDNESDAY 💷

Is your cash really growing?

The Bank Rate is currently 3.75%.

But inflation has just risen to 2.9%.

So while your savings might be earning interest, it’s important to remember:

Interest is not the same as growth.

What matters is whether your money is growing faster than the cost of living.

💭 Are you making your cash work hard enough?

💡 Monday Money Tip: Give yourself a little time

This one actually came from my 11-year-old daughter…

Saving money can be HARD. Especially when there’s something you really, really want! 😂

So here’s a simple rule I like:

If you’re thinking about buying something, give yourself a couple of days.

🛍️ Put it in your online basket and leave it.
👗 Try it on, but don’t buy it straight away.
💭 Give yourself time to think.

Then ask yourself:

Do I REALLY want it?
Do I REALLY need it?

Sometimes, after a couple of days, you realise you didn’t want it nearly as much as you thought you did.

And if you still want it? Great. At least you’ve made a conscious decision rather than an impulse purchase.

It’s a simple habit, but giving yourself a little breathing space before making decisions can make a BIG difference when you’re trying to save.

And actually… this isn’t just good advice for money. 😉

Could you leave something you want to buy for 48 hours before deciding?

Friday Thought 💭

Would you rather have £1 million… or never worry about money again?

It sounds like an easy choice.

But actually, they’re two very different things.

£1 million sounds like wealth.

But having enough money to live the life you want, without constantly worrying about it, sounds like financial freedom.

And maybe the two aren’t always the same.

So, if you had to choose…

£1 million 💷 or never worry about money again?

I’d love to know which one you’d choose, and why.

WEALTH WEDNESDAY 💡

Are you getting all the tax relief you’re entitled to on your pension?

If you earn over £50,270, you’re a higher-rate taxpayer on the income above that threshold.

That means your pension contributions could benefit from 40% tax relief — but it isn’t always as straightforward as you might think.

If your workplace pension uses relief at source, you’ll normally receive 20% automatically, but you may need to claim the additional 20% through HMRC.

If your pension uses net pay, the tax relief is generally given automatically through payroll.

So, if you’re a higher-rate taxpayer, it’s worth asking yourself:

Do I know how my pension gives me tax relief — and am I claiming everything I’m entitled to?

It could be worth checking your payslip… and your pension scheme. 👀
