Chicken roll or spice bag?

Chicken Roll with Cheese and Mayo. It’s the perfect comfort food, especially for a quick lunch or after a night out.

What’s your go to karaoke song?

It’s ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ by Wheatus. It’s just a classic, relatable anthem. It’s fun to really ham up the dramatic parts. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, and I can’t resist belting it out.

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

The most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done was definitely buying a Lamborghini.
 

How can young adults in their 20s and 30s best set themselves up for financial success?

The key to financial success for young adults is consistently saving and investing a portion of your income every month. Start small, but start early. Even a modest amount invested regularly can grow significantly over time. Getting into these habits early will create a strong financial foundation. 

With so much financial information available online, how can people discern reliable advice from misleading information?

Ignore everything else and book in for a consultation. 

What is the most important financial lesson you’ve learned in your career?

The most important financial lesson I’ve learned is the value of diversification. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. It’s about building a balanced portfolio that can weather market fluctuations and achieve long-term growth. Diversification is the cornerstone of sound financial planning.
