What exactly is Financial Planning? This video explains more and outlines the key aspects of how Financial Planning works, how it is different from other forms of financial or money management, and why people love it. Financial Planning is different because it is all about you, and your goals. Rather than worrying about what financial product you need or which company to invest with, and so on, Financial Planning focuses on a process which is all about identifying your goals, your values, and your wishes, and then constructs a plan to meet these. This video will reveal more about how this works.
We would like to share a secret, called Cash flow Financial Planning. Although this is now mainstream and widely available through leading advisers and financial planners, not enough people know about how this works, what it can do for them, and the brilliance of this method of future financial planning. Cash flow is a way of looking at your future pathways by using software to plot a number of scenarios, of how your income/expenditure may pan out given different assumptions. Once you can see this you can see where the risks are down the line, how decisions today may affect your money and wealth later, and from there you can make better decisions. The video outlines this in full and allows you to see where cash flow financial planning could fit in to your money management.
When you plot out your future financial position, especially into and through retirement, you may be forgiven for taking a look at your life expectancy. But this is potentially a mistake, or misleading, as your real issue is not what 'average' age you may live to, but how long you might live in all possible scenarios. Longevity describes your life span - and if you know how likely it is you will live a long time, which could be much longer than your life expectancy, then you may change the way you plan your finances. This video explains this in a compelling way and is a great view for those of you thinking about your future position and how best to manage this.
Planning for Inheritance Tax is a worthwhile and highly desirable thing to do if you are potentially facing a future tax bill on your assets. But it is one part of a much bigger whole - which is estate planning. This describes the entire exercise of looking at your future position, your legacy wishes, and ensuring your current situation and future plans are efficient and exactly where they need to be to get the outcomes you want. Inheritance Tax mitigation or reduction is, therefore, one part of this much bigger exercise. This video outlines this in much greater detail and explains how you can approach this.
The Residence Nil Rate Band is the additional allowance homeowners have in relation to future, possible, Inheritance Tax. It potentially provides a reduction in the amount of tax payable. But it can easily be lost or at the very least not utilised fully. This can end up creating a bigger tax bill for family members or beneficiaries of an estate than is necessary. This video explains how this allowance works, the pitfalls to look out for and how, with good planning, individuals and couples can ensure it is maximised.
