Introducing the Game Plan: A Holistic Approach to Financial Planning for Everyone

Hello, Planners!

I'm thrilled to share my latest article that delves into a revolutionary concept we've been working on at Planning My Life—The Game Plan.

This observation was not intended to criticise financial advisers but to highlight a shift in the financial landscape. The data supports this view, and it's crucial for us all to adapt to these changing circumstances for the benefit of our clients.

However, when we put the consumer first and integrate financial planning, technology, and advocacy against financial exploitation, a different, more hopeful landscape emerges. This article explores a retirement planning strategy that focuses on leveraging productive assets and entrepreneurial opportunities to create sustainable livelihoods.
