Not many people think about their future, I guess it’s kind of how we’re wired.

When it comes to saving money though, for either a long-term or short, it’s welcoming to have some sort of assistance. You know, someone to guide you through the labyrinth that is ‘how much’ and ‘where’ and ‘for how long’.

While you can get in with a company like Consequence and speak to their guys directly, they have also created a handy tool that allows you to answer some questions to find out more about what you want.

What’s great about it is instead of words flying over my head when someone starts talking all technical, each section has various options, as well as a sidebar of step-specific questions.

The Consequence Connect Investment Guide is designed to be a secure, easy and low-fee way to access the world of investing. It’s exciting for us as we recognise that many younger clients are keen to use an online portal to begin investing.

Consequence hopes that users will find the easy-to-navigate environment appealing, and allow them to discover the various investments you can get into, depending on what you want to save, spend, and how much you earn:

We want to understand your goals and then guide you towards either a tax free investment and/or a flexible unit trust investment and we then apply your investment value into an underlying fund blend carefully designed to match your risk profile.

Investing for the long term is vital but so are other aspects of financial planning such as ensuring your will is drafted correctly and properly insuring yourself and your family and we are here to discuss those items.

Take a look – HERE – and have fun checking out your various investment opportunities.
