MANAGING MONEY & Investing
Careful Thinking
Planning is a key element to managing money, especially when investing. It helps you see what is affordable, whatever your income level. The first step to keep control of your finances is a budget. It takes effort, but is a great way to get a snapshot of the money you have coming in and going out, your surplus or deficit, and to establish how much you can invest in you and your future.
Managing money is about more than making sure you don’t spend more than you have. We can work with you to complete a budget plan, to help establish an accurate snapshot of income versus expenditure. Only then can we construct a plan to help you develop wealth, to help you achieve your goals whilst ensuring that you have some contingency plan for the events in life that can happen to all of us. The subjects we will cover include Savings, Investing, Bank Accounts, Interest and Tax on Savings, Types of Saving, and accessing your cash.
Once we have established your financial position, we will make recommendations on how to prioritise and how you can achieve those of your goals which are manageable and set your plan in motion. We make sure your money is working as hard as it can for you and your future. It is important for everyone to understand the difference between saving and investing and we will cover that within this section of our website and in person during an initial discovery meeting.
Within this section, as well as throughout or Life Events Timeline, you will find our short guides to: Cash Savings, Money Saving Tips, Savings Accounts, Saving for Children, Investing, ISAs, Investing in Property, Wealth Management, Pensions, SIPPs as well as other information on other types of investment options.
Fact-finding
Together we need to prioritise your financial life according to your goals. This will include details on Health, Lifestyle, Assets & Liabilities as well as Income & Expenditure, your privacy assured, so that we can accurately and realistically advise how you can achieve your goals.
Analyse & Plan
We analyse your answers and recommend a plan to help you reach your expectations and goals, to stop you from making decisions based on fear. The agreed plan can then be implemented… until the next time we review it with you.
Ongoing
Financial Planning is a long game! We will provide regular reviews to help identify what’s working for you, and what is not, because things can change rapidly. Your plan will be a living, breathing and moving product of careful thinking, and we’ll share the journey!
With Careful Thinking, we can formulate your plans and targets together

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY INVESTING IN YOURSELF?
Many people think that ‘Investing’ is not for them, that they are not wealthy enough. It is our belief that everyone has the right to invest, and should have the ability to invest. As a group, it is one of our objectives to bring institutional standards of investment to all levels of wealth. The ability to make an investment, no matter how small, is the first step to making an investment in your future, in preparing for life after work when income dries up. So some time spent carefully early in life can pay dividends by making sure that money invested today can help you achieve much more in the future.
So here’s a few pointers to help you make that investment in yourself:
-
- Taking the time to manage your money better can pay off and may help you save £1,000s each year.
- Making a budget gives you a clear picture and shows you where you might save money.
- Savings add up and with the power of compounding can keep growing. Get into the habit and watch money turn into money while managing the perils of inflation.
- Managing a budget is tough. The unexpected often throws us off-course, but regular saving can help. An emergency fund can be particularly useful.
