I love helping my clients use their money to live a better life. Old school advice centres on higher returns, saving tax or selling life insurance. Proper financial planning involves a deep understanding "What kind of life you would like your money to buy and how you can use what you have to avoid living a life you regret". Proper Estate Planning is not just about saving Inheritance Tax but thinking about what people will remember you for and say about you at your Funeral.
