Planning your financial future during these uncertain times can be difficult and that’s why some expert guidance is always welcome.
Hester van der Merwe hopes to help people reach their financial goals with some helpful tips.
She says: “A successful financial outcome needs the same amount (if not more) of careful planning as any other area of our lives. This includes goal setting. Without carefully set financial goals we may find ourselves ambling aimlessly through life, missing opportunities and wasting time in the market.”
Van der Merwe adds: “It is so important to realise that all your other goals will impact your financial goal setting, hence an integrated approach is essential.”
“We have to be quite ruthless when looking at our budgets. We must separate the nice to haves from the essentials. This can be hard to do – not because we do not know what is important, but because humans are wired in a way that can make it very difficult to make the right decision at the right time,” she says.
Join her on Friday at 2pm for a Facebook Live session on the Weekend Argus Facebook page, where you will be able to ask her questions about personal finance.
