In this episode, Stuart dives into the rising cost of financial advice and what it means for Australians. With ongoing advisor fees often starting at $5,000 per year, many advisors now focus on long-term client relationships, leaving fewer options for those seeking once-off advice. Stuart explains how this shift forces many to navigate financial decisions independently, a challenge that can be daunting but not impossible.
He shares four key steps to take before hiring a financial advisor: first, get a clear understanding of your cash flow; second, educate yourself on fundamental financial concepts like superannuation, property vs shares, and leveraging debt to invest; third, assess whether your next financial move is obvious or if you truly need strategic advice; and finally, make sure your financial house is in order by addressing any outstanding issues like consolidating super or building a savings buffer.
Stuart's advice empowers listeners to take proactive steps toward financial independence while highlighting when it might be necessary to seek professional help. Whether you're just starting your wealth-building journey or considering your next big move, this episode offers practical guidance to help you make smarter financial decisions.
