How much do you think you could earn during your working life? Would a million dollars surprise you? Well, if you earned $25,000 a year for forty years, that's what it would add up to. But it's not the money you earn that's the important thing – it's what you do with it.
No matter what your income is, a savings and investment plan can help you make the most of it. Developing a savings and investment plan is simple if you get advice.
An AMP Adviser will first help you work out what you want to save for. A holiday? A deposit on a home? A comfortable retirement? Then they’ll work with you to develop a plan to reach these goals within the timeframes you'd like. You may choose short-term savings , or you may like to put some of your income into a longer-term investment portfolio.
Before recommending any investments, your Adviser will assess your 'risk profile' to see how much risk you feel comfortable with. They'll advise you on the need to spread your risk by diversifying your investments – and recommend getting together at least once a year to review your plan and make sure it’s still on track.
A good savings and investment plan will take your income and make it work towards the outcome you want. And the sooner you start – even if you start small – the faster you'll get there.
