Families

With kids in tow (and possibly a mortgage too!), getting the family’s finances in order can be overwhelming. Whether you are planning for your first child or trying to pay off your home loan, we can help you stay financially on track...

1. Your first child
Use our checklist for before, during and after pregnancy to ensure you keep your finances on track.

2. Start an investment for your child’s future
Continue to set savings aside for future goals and look at long-term strategies to invest for your child’s future and education.

3. Pay off your home loan!
The faster you do this, the earlier you can start investing your hard earned money elsewhere. You can also use our various home loan calculators to assist planning.

4. Protect yourself and your family.
How would you pay bills and care for your family if you died or became ill? Ensure both you and your partner have comprehensive personal insurance to protect your family against the unexpected.

5. Can you claim any Government benefits?
Claim any benefits which you may be eligible for as an individual or as a family. Check with Centrelink or your Count adviser.

What’s next?
Speak to your Count adviser about a financial plan that will get you and your family on track for a financially secure and enjoyable future.
