Episode notes
Choose Career Moves From Your End Goal
- Start with your end financial goal and work backwards before changing jobs or studying.
- If study is needed, map a clear, realistic career path and quantify the short-term cost versus long-term gain.
De-risk Study With A Clear Career Path
- Only undertake uni/study if you have a specific, de-risked career path and realistic prospects.
- Avoid taking long income breaks for vague qualifications that may not yield better work outcomes.
Keep Child Investments Simple
- For a modest inheritance, keep investing simple: add it to your own portfolio or a separate account to track it.
- Use a minor trust or child account only if you need tax or ownership rules handled explicitly.
