All at different stages in their financial planning careers, each bring intelligent, well-considered perspectives on the latest Budget announcements.</p><p><br></p><p>Many of us were expecting a little more to be said and a little more movement to occur. Kat’s expectations for action on student loans weren’t fulfilled, and Richard’s hopes for measures to address income tax cliff edges also went unanswered.</p><p><br></p><p>So, in short, it was largely a budget with little real substance, as you’ll hear in the podcast. Although there haven’t been many dramatic proposals, Richard’s advice is we need to be glad that certain things haven’t changed … so take the rules that we’ve got and embrace them.</p><p><br></p><p>We hope you enjoy watching this episode, and if you have any questions or thoughts you’d like to discuss with us, please do get in touch.</p>","author_name":"Colmore Partners"}
