Financial Insights & Updates - September 2020
Welcome to the September edition of Financial Insights and Updates.
When it comes to managing your money, having good money habits goes hand in hand with having a sound financial plan put together (and regularly reviewed) by your financial planner. Our video this month “How to set good long-term financial habits” gives you a few tips to get started. The article “Don’t let overspending be your undoing” will then give you more tips on how to avoid the bad money habit of spending just to “keep up with the Joneses”.
Another great article included this month “Find unclaimed money” directs you to do a search on ASIC’s Moneysmart website for any potential money you may have forgotten about over the years. This search is not just limited to lost Super. Wouldn’t hurt to just run a quick search, who knows you might get a pleasant surprise!
As customary, we have prepared other articles which we hope you will enjoy.
In signing off, please remember that we are always available to answer any questions or queries you may have.
Warm regards,
The Team at Savanna Pride
