May 2020 Newsletter
In our May newsletter, with June 30 on the horizon, we begin by discussing several end of financial year planning tips for wealth accumulators, pre-retirees and retirees. Our animation illustrates loss aversion, a type of cognitive bias that can influence our financial decision-making in a range of personal finance areas.
At present, certain conditions of release could allow us to access our super early; we unpack the potential long-term impact of doing so under a new, temporary condition of release. The JobKeeper Payment was recently legislated, with some changes; we provide an updated overview of this in our next article. We also share a TED Talk by Anna Rosling Rönnlund, where she discusses Dollar Street, an interactive tool that allows us to view the world as a street, ordered by income.
Lastly, with the current global situation, it’s important to take time to look after our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We share with you a video by Doctors without Borders with several helpful self-care tips.
The Bellwether Team are back in the office and operating as normal. If you would like to check in and discuss your finances, please contact us direct.
Kind Regards,
The team at
