Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society.

Entering the property market without a solid financial plan can lead to costly mistakes. Here’s why knowing your limits can set you up for success in the long term. 🏠💡

A clear financial plan is key to navigating the property market with confidence, especially when auctions are involved. Knowing your limits helps prevent panic buying and ensures you stay on track for long-term success.

The same approach applies to your house and contents insurance—exploring special rates for existing policyholders can save you money. 📄✨

When it comes to financing your home, a common guideline is to keep your mortgage costs under one-third of your income. Whether you opt for a low-interest loan or prefer the flexibility of an offset account, make sure to read the fine print carefully. Hidden restrictions could affect your future plans.

And while it’s easier said than done, each of these requirements will take time and energy to carry out. But it’s worth remembering that your efforts will be rewarded many times over in terms of self-satisfaction, presentation and many happy returns.

Looking for expert guidance to navigate the property market with confidence? Connect with me today, and let’s discuss a strategy that aligns with your financial goals
