I spent most of my 20’s p!ssing up and not preparing for my future years. It seems younger people are a bit more switched on these days (thank Gard!) so you’re probably not doing that. You will be better prepared than I was. Let’s look at what you need to be thinking about when it comes to milestones in your 30’s…Emergency funds? Buying a house? Investments? No consumer debt? Career plans? Relationships? Goals? Health and wellbeing plan? A will? There is a lot to think about. In this episode, I sit down with James Blair who is a Financial Advisor and the Wealth Director from Lighthouse Financial to discuss what we should be thinking about. James helps every day Kiwi with their longer term investing plans and we discuss how some of these fundamentals are important whether we are in our 30’s or 60’s.James Blair is the Wealth Director at https://lighthousefinancial.co.nzI have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.

Recently I received an awesome message. A 12yo lad is out in his neighbourhood doing something we often talk about. Making an offer to transact. He offers to help and add value to his neighbourhood by solving problems. Wouldn’t it be nice to go back to that sort of mindset where you don’t fear as much as you do now, and you don’t care what people think about you? Let's explore how he is doing this and what we can learn and apply to our lives. Hey thanks for listening!

Apparently so. That is according to some people who message me and leave me comments. I know and see how tricky it is out there, so I can see what these people are trying to say. Maybe I am too much of a realistic optimist, but I can see better financial times in the future. However, I do believe it will get worse before it gets better. (Again, realistic optimist). So should we accept our fate and give up? Let's explore!Hey thanks for listening! Please take some form of action from this content, don’t just be a consumer, become a producer!

This is a re-release of an earlier podcast that other listeners have found very useful.When I put together the 30 in 30 podcast series, one of the most mentioned podcasts was around investing in yourself.

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions from younger people who are looking to get into investing. This is exciting to see, but no matter their age, they probably shouldn’t be asking a random stranger on the internet what to do with their money. So I sat down with James Blair who is a Financial Advisor and the Wealth Director from Lighthouse Financial to discuss what we should be thinking about. James helps every day Kiwi with their longer term investing plans and we discuss how some of these fundamentals are important whether we are investing $10k or $10mil. It doesn’t matter what age you are or how much you have to invest, this podcast will get you thinking!James Blair is the Wealth Director at https://lighthousefinancial.co.nzI have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.
