Keeping things running smoothly—car or finances?
Every day, I’m amazed by how people prioritise their time and money.
Take car maintenance, for instance.
On average, Australians spend around $900 each year per vehicle on services, new tires, and the occasional wash (more for regional!). For a car worth on average $37,000, that’s 2.5% of its value.
It’s something we do without question because we know regular upkeep helps us avoid bigger problems down the road.
But here’s something interesting to think about:
- How much do you invest in maintaining your finances?
- Do you set aside time to review and fine-tune your financial plan?
- Are you allocating money to ensure your financial future stays on track?
Here Are Some Tips to Get Started
- Schedule regular financial check-ins: Just like a car service, a financial check-up once or twice a year keeps your goals in focus and your strategy aligned.
- Look for ways to save or optimise: Consider areas—like tax, debt, property, super, or investments—that could use a little fine-tuning to avoid hidden costs or missed opportunities.
- Seek guidance when you need it: A great mechanic knows how to keep your car running smoothly. Similarly, expert financial guidance can reveal options and opportunities you might otherwise miss. This could be a financial planner, mortgage broker or accountant.
With a little fine-tuning, we help clients save, protect, and grow their finances for the long haul. Our approach ensures that your financial “engine” is running at peak performance—giving you a clear path to future goals, without any costly detours.
Taking a few small actions today could pay off in major ways tomorrow. If you need help, contact us with “check-up” and we can outline next steps.
To your financial health.
