What actually happens when you go to get financial advice? As two people that haven't been able to afford advisers, that is a question both of us (Bryce and Ren) have. And that is a question we often hear from the Equity Mates community. So we set out to answer it. To do it, we took on the personas of Liam and Emma - a couple working on building wealth and planning for some major life milestones - and sat down with financial adviser Christine Dang. Listen as we take you inside the room and unpack how an initial meeting with an adviser takes place. We cover: The 'getting-to-know-you' questions an adviser will ask What financial information they are afterHow they approach goals and major financial milestones The most common financial situations they encounter How clients can manage competing financial goals (i.e. buying a house v paying for a wedding)Thinking about investing inside of super or outside of it And so much more! Whether you already have an adviser, are thinking about speaking to one, or are not interested at all - this episode will help you think about your personal financial situation and goals. —------ Want to speak to Christine or another of our hand-picked financial advisers?
