]]> How Creatives Can Plan For the Future by taking control of their Personal Finances How Creatives Can Plan For the Future by taking control of their Personal Finances Tue, 17 Jan 2023 06:00:41 GMT 33:19 63bdb5ba65ae3d001171bd34 false https://shows.acast.com/ampahs-takeaways/episodes/63bdb5ba65ae3d001171bd34 63bdb5ba65ae3d001171bd34 6367953620b76a0011cacbc3 Planning for the Future by taking Control of Personal Finance full As someone in the creative industry planning for the future can be difficult. Many do not have the luxury of a monthly steady paycheck, most have no idea how much they will make in 12 months, let alone in 3 years.

 

This inability to accurately forecast makes life extremely difficult when it comes to trying to get a mortgage or investing. Many creatives I speak to believe the idea of being on the property ladder is a distant dream, but it doesn’t have to be.

 

As a creative you have much of a right to invest, save and get on the property ladder as anyone else and it is possible. To help me explore this topic I was joined on this month’s Ampah’s Takeaway by Penny Dashfield & Alex Legget from Bevis Mark Private Investment, and Toby Carmichael- Jack an Independent Financial Advisor at Opal Financial Management.

 

We explore topics like best practices to help save and invest, what mortgage lenders want from you in order to offer a mortgage and the importance of a pension.

 

If sorting out your finances is your new year’s resolution, then you can’t miss this month’s episode of Ampah’s Takeaway.
