Reminder for Life
With the sun now showing more it might be time to think about where your life and desires are at. With more and more challenges in life have you considered what tomorrow brings? None of us know exactly what it will bring as the only guarantee in life is that eventually death will catch us up so are you prepared for that if it catches you out or will common law apply instead of a long delay into dividing evenly into all family associated with you. Today this probably won't be the desired intention as I know of lots of families that don't like each other or a change of partners where you don't want your ex-partner having a share or anything else which might be undesired happening on your passing. Everyday we get out in our cars, trucks, buses etc we all run the risk it may be our last or anything else that nature and the rest may throw our way it pays to be prepared so this makes your plans easy and what you would have desired.
Make sure you have a Will set up as this is the only way to make your desire sorted upon you passing as even young children unfortunately die by nature or accident and it can hit at any time thus be prepared regardless of how much or little you have acquired.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
