what one person considers a collectible might be completely not to other people yeah no yeah that's the thing yeah it's um it's a hard one to put in there's a it's kind of like contents you know like your home contents like the value that you place on it versus what somebody else would

Yeah, I had a client that I was working with last year who had a house fire and her trying to prove the clothing and the different things that they had that they were actually of that value and all that, she said, was really, really difficult.

And it went...

I want to say years, but it might not have been.

It was a very, very long time for a claim process that I was thinking, how much longer do you actually like, you know, to find this?

Yeah.

So that is a great, that's a really good tip.

Yes, but I will add in the show notes for this episode the wealth checker so people can put it on.

But as we said, we did one of these for superannuation and people just absolutely loved it.

So this is a more holistic, comprehensive one that you can benchmark your wealth.

So if you did the super one and you are feeling behind –

maybe you'll do this one and you'll just be like much further ahead.

Yeah, well, they're very different and it just depends on which stage you're at.

So when you're listening and you're consuming information and education, it's very easy to, like we're in a day and age where you can access so much information.

There's great podcasts like this, there's books, there's lots of resources and you're learning, but it can be really hard for people to then put those learnings into action.

So we always try to have a really practical way

takeaway for people to do with any of our education, right?

But there can still be some hurdles.

So you could be very much a self-starter and get all of your knowledge and your education and be able to put that stuff into practice, which is great.

On the flip side of that, you might be at a level where you don't have the expertise or the experience and you want to outsource that and you want to be dealing with a financial advisor who is an expert and they're going to provide you exact strategies on how to meet your goals.
