In 2006 the Australian Federal Government ran the Understanding Money campaign and issued booklets for individuals and organisations (ISBN 0 642 74389 4 for the Organisation booklet). Do you remember? I certainly do (and I have copies of the booklets ;-), because it was two years after I started helping people professionally with their financial education. The government knew back then that it will have a tough time in future providing (financial) assistance to a growing population. It knew and still knows the benefit of a financially educated populace. People that know ‘how to fish’ can look after themselves.
Yes some innovative organisations are rolling this training out brilliantly. Australia Post, Flight Centre and Department of Defence to name a few. Given that individual financial bondage affects organisations, they are well-placed to incorporate this soft skill into their training program. Managing money is a transferable skill for managing resources in the workplace. If you’d like a Checklist for for yourself and your organisation just Contact me.
What annoys me though is that it doesn’t seem to have had an effect on a larger scale. Just like Workplace Health and Safety (WHS), where the cost of training provides a long term return on investment, I expect that financial education will become mainstream, but when? We really must accelerate programs now so that our levels of debt, personally and nationally, decrease.
It behoves us as individuals, responsible for our own lives to make our own retirement comfortable. We could talk for days about factors affecting our ability to do this (e.g. stay at home parent, which is one of the most important jobs in the world). However there is no one more interested in your financial future than yourself. Well, perhaps me 😉 And that’s because I see the all too common problem of people losing jobs, retiring on very little income or some other situation that leaves people financially strained. Which then affects the rest of their lives, including their loved ones. Not an enjoyable existence! If you’d like to start the path to being part of the 6% who will be financially comfortable as soon as possible just ask me for the Checklist here. And of course I’d love to hear your comments about whether you’ve attended or would attend workplace financial literacy training, and why. Here’s to a great 2017!! xx

Recently my gorgeous little nephew, as I was saying goodbye, ran around the house locking the doors so I couldn’t leave. Yes there is a connection between us since he was born 9 years ago. Having not yet had children through my own choices, and because of his medical condition, time is precious with him. So I find myself seriously torn between wanting to move closer to my family and a few other choices. I guess I should count myself lucky for being in such a position with the many options. However it really has been tumultuous as I try to balance the heart and mind.
Being ex-Army, having to scrutinize the enemy, create at least three solutions and then justify your own course of action, it’s easy for me to over analyse. I think of the saying “Let go and let God” but I wonder if this just perpetuates stagnation. What has helped is taking a mental health day, whereby I’ve tidied up my external environment, gone to yoga and taken time to sit, purposefully not trying to think of anything by saying the mantra “Be still, go empty”.
So I still don’t know the answer and there’s no time frame within which I have to make a decision. What I do know is that it is easier to take stock of your financial situation and any future implications, at this time of year. The end of the fiscal/financial year in Australia on June 30 is an ideal time to look at your finances because there’s no pressure like the festive season.
There are many decision-making tools and I welcome your suggestions. Lastly, am I the only one who gets excited by the New Financial Year?
Come along for an “After hours Adults only” session from 6 pm. Just in time for the end of Financial Year and of course, it’s always a good time for frolicking.
Laugh and learn, enjoy light refreshments and have your questions answered (anonymously if required). The Byron Bay talk had people asking questions for an extra hour but you’re welcome to leave by 7 or earlier if you choose.
Recommended for 18+ due to questions from the audience however Parental discretion respected.

Having just turned another year chronologically older I can say I do think I’m a little wiser. I still haven’t bought a TV and I’m loving the book Biology of Belief by Dr Bruce Lipton. It explores how the membrane around our cells affects our health and life in general, as opposed to the old paradigm of genetics being the main factor.
To this end I’m very conscious of my what goes into my mind and body, as what goes in ultimately comes out by way of results in our life. If I let my thoughts go unchecked it may be my body sending signals to the brain so that this thought produces the chemical the cell membrane desires.
Yes I took a few days to digest this concept but it makes sense that if we get stuck in a situation where the same angry, hurtful, joyous, embarrassed or any other feelings are triggered, it may be just that our cells are wanting that chemical that they are used to.
To keep my thoughts and my body calm each morning and evening I sit quietly. When I breathe in deeply I imagine drawing my breath from all up and down the east coast of Australia. I imagine it coming up through my body and out through my head, and as it flattens out a few metres above me with all that I have connected with, my body goes with it and separates into individual cells.
Then a cleansing, healing and nourishing energy filters down over that plane of connected breath and cells. As I breathe out the pure, fresh plane of cellular breath comes back through me and out, up and down the east coast of Australia.
I don’t mock others if what they do works for them and I’m always eager to hear new ideas. At this point this appears to work for me. I’ve been using it since 2010 however must admit that the last two years, while living in the bush I let it slide. However in the last couple of months using it again I’ve already seen amazing results. I would love to know what works for you! xx
PS The number 78 is because this is actually my 78th post, even though I’ve recently renamed them Play points?
