I have potentially saved $214,270 when I retire, for what is a small lifestyle change. Until recently, I was one of those habitual people who joined the ‘production’ queue at the local coffee shop, ordering my soy latte, creeping into the office, and slowly sipping while waking up to the myriad of emails …all asking me questions my head just wasn’t ready to answer. With the cost of living going up, I guess I am starting to question the value of 𝐜𝐚𝐟𝐞 coffee to simply get started in the morning. I always envisioned that drinking good coffee was sitting at a nice café basking in the sun and having a thought-provoking conversation with friends. A social experience. Six months ago I made a healthy lifestyle choice to take up intermittent fasting which involves putting away the fancy lattes (at least on weekdays) and drinking a black coffee instead in the morning, which is something I can easily access at the office, provided by the office ( it is a fresh grind don't worry 😅 ). So the question I ask myself is, if I am no longer buying coffee every weekday (sometimes more than once), then how much am I saving over a 12-month period? Or even better, how much would I save with accumulated interest until the day I eventually retire (65)? I spent my weekend having fun, building a simple app (using Salesforce Heroku) to calculate the numbers/savings based on the average coffee rates in Sydney. The results give me some interesting insights. ✅ Small incremental changes in your spending can have a significant impact on your long-term financial wealth generation. Especially if it’s a bad habit you are changing for a good habit. ✅ If something this small can have this much impact on my retirement, then having a financial strategy with an adviser can have a much more significant impact. Try the app (it's beta version) and see your numbers --> https://lnkd.in/gkKd_pmG #wealth #retirementplanning #coffeecost #costofliving #expertwealth

There is so much happening in the world of cryptocurrencies and it's only going to heat up the conversations around the table this year as it continues to build momentum. In particular, how it is impacting the financial advice space. I had the opportunity to film some great research insights on this topic with Anna Vennonen from CoreData Group / CoreData Exchange. Stay tuned for the updates, it's certainly something to be informed about. #crypto #research #insights #coredataExchange #filming #production

You never know who you are going to bump into at the Salesforce World Tour! Jonna Kim, Devanand (Dev) Devathoti 😀 😀 Seeing the team who I worked shoulder to shoulder with for so many years is always a treat but even more so, to hear about what they are doing now in the world of marketing and Salesforce, and to see how much they have grown professionally. It was a fantastic day with Salesforce in Sydney to see how AI and automation are being implemented inside the FSC platform with trust and security in mind. It certainly has us excited at EXPERT WEALTH as we continue to implement our own data-driven vision using a world-leading technology stack. #team #ai #automation #financialservices #financialplanning #culture #salesforceworldtour #shazam

It was great catching up with the team at Realm Investment House today in Melbourne to film some timely content to be distributed in the coming weeks. I have always been a huge fan of their hard work and the results show. They have ridden the credit cycle well (read perfectly) and have always understood they are there for their clients. Reduced risk when they should have and increased again when the time is right. EXPERT WEALTH has been on the journey with Realm for a long time, delivering great investment outcomes for clients. #investments #filming #strategy #clientoutcomes #production
