I'm a Snake Charmer. The best advice I can give is that when you are at work, DON'T STOP!

Financial Adviser.

Best tip (the earlier the better) - put something away each week no matter how small. let compounding work its magic.

The first thing I do when I get into the office is hide. Because good workers are hard to find!

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Work in the regulatory side of the finance sector. My tip to fellow Hawkers - don't trust about 98% of people in the finance sector (sorry if you are one of the rare good ones kirbatron).

I have been a Loan Processing Officer for 4yrs and currently completing accreditations to become a Mortgage Broker.

Ponderings:-(not financial nor credit advice)

• Pay weekly or fortnightly if you can (helping to pay less interest and the loan off faster).
• Compounding interest is great when you’re saving. Not so great when you’re paying the mortgage.
• Don’t pay the loyalty tax to your bank- have they got you on a better rate than their new clients? 99% of the time the answer is no. See a mortgage broker.
• Don’t borrow the maximum amount you will service for (if you can help it) as once you add on the interest to repay on top of the principal, unless your income increases you many struggle to pay it off fast.
• If you’re a first home buyer, look at the various government grants and guarantees that can help you purchase your first residence.
• Interest only loans have a purpose and may be good for some but remember you still have to pay the principal off.
• Fixed v Variable rates- the bank will win if you fix in most cases.
• A good mortgage broker wants you to do well. Not just flog you an investment property loan down the track. Are they listening to what you want?
• Financial literacy for kids and young adults is so important!

A non-compliant financial advisor or broker won’t be in business too long.

Rehab Consultant
Basically it's NDIS work and we build the higher end power wheelchairs , manual and other stuff in that space .

Like the work , can be pretty confronting at times , good reality check also.
