Personal finances: Issues facing professionals
30th April 2018
Over the next 4 weeks Fryer Glass will attempt to highlight some of the main issues that face professionals with their personal finances.
There are many reasons why people do not seek financial advice:
- The view that it is expensive
- The view that you do not have enough money to have choices
- Lack of trust in the financial services sector
- Apathy, or a belief that it can wait until a later date
- People being protective over their private information
- Life gets in the way
All of these things are understandable, but unfortunately lead to millions of people missing out on opportunities for their hard-earned money to work for them in the best way for their individual circumstances.
The attached article, published in the financial section of the Telegragh in February 2018 highlights just some of the benefits to seeking professional financial advice.
