Spring Update; Surviving tough markets, stress test your mortgage, meditation

SPRING has arrived. Warmer weather. Blooming flowers. Footy finals. Spring racing.

Are you ready?

While there’s lots to look forward to, we can’t overlook the headwinds we are facing. Higher interest rates, inflation, energy costs and uncertainty are creating increased levels of stress and anxiety.

This edition of our quarterly Insight newsletter includes a timely piece on meditation, and how it can help with mental health and wellbeing as well as improving efficiency at work. Similarly, the article on facing mortgage stress is particularly relevant.

More generally, “Preparing For The Next Chapter” highlights the value of more carefully considering what a fulfilling retirement looks like for you personally, even if it is still a way off. Additionally, while many of us have life insurance in some form, how good are we at ensuring that it has kept up with our lives? Read on for some food for thought.

As we face the current headwinds, remember that it’s easier if you have some help. Please look out for each other, stay safe and contact us if you have concerns or queries.
