This month we a joined by keynote Speaker: Jacob Wright
As a financial planner my aim is to help you achieve 'financial freedom'. That is the ability to live life on your own terms and have the financial resources to do so.
How do I do that? We work together to answer these three questions:
1) Can I/we spend my money how I/we want to, now and in the future?
2) Will I/we run out of money?
3) If I/we have any spare money, can I/we pass it to my wife/children/partner etc.
Simply put, the earlier you start planning, the better your chances are to achieve your financial goals. It shouldn't be any more complicated than that.

After the break: (15mins to network and grab a tea/coffee top up and breakfast roll.)
