Topics

Financially Healthy for Life – a financial wellbeing presentation

Everyone in the workplace suffers from stress – Grant Thornton in recent research found 70% of that stress was financial.

The co-relation between mental health and finances is obvious with recessions, pandemics, rising interest rates and rising cost of living, inflation etc. This financial wellbeing one hour webinar / seminar with a Q & A at the end is just the ticket for companies to help their employees get a better grip on their finances and manage their incomes – their number one asset.

Topics covered:

  • Budgeting and planning
  • Mortgages and debt management
  • Savings and investment
  • Pensions and retirement planning including Wills and Probate provision

Your staff will thank you!

Coping with the Rising Cost of Living and Inflation

In our sessions you will learn:

  • How to budget
  • What to prioritise and what not to prioritise
  • How to save: find what excess funds you can achieve each month to put into your savings, and where to save both short and long term
  • The basic requirements of obtaining a home loan – whether you are a 1st time borrower, switcher or mover enabling you to better manage your long term debt and in the process possibly resolve short term debts that keep you awake at night.
  • The humble pension is probably the BEST investment in Ireland today and something through your own hard work you can look forward to spending on retirement. What you should be contributing to your pension and what in 2024 your employer HAS to contribute as a minimum.
