Why it works

It’s more important than ever to have your personal finances in order so you can achieve great financial and personal success, but when learning about money, people often focus one or two areas, but it’s important to have ALL of the areas of money working together for you.

That’s what the Bulletproof Money Plan is all about.

It means moving money away from eyesight (and removing easy access), by using a few different bank accounts which are earmarked for various purposes, where it be to pay regular bills of the holidays. This ensures money is available when needed, instead of accidentally been spent from week to week just because it’s in your everyday bank account. After putting money aside to cover commitments, whatever is left over can be spent without worry or confusion.

Saving money is the first step to creating wealth and means more money in your back pocket. It’s the fundamental basis of all successful money management. Unfortunately though, it doesn’t mean that your money is working for you. Without also investing, you will never have any more money than what you can save. The purpose of investing is to make money; more money than what you physically earn from a job. To create real wealth, you need to save first and invest second. By investing your money properly, your money will earn ‘interest’ (income) and go up in value over time (capital growth).

It’s important to protect the most important areas of your life—just in case something unexpected happens. This means looking after your income and your life! Everything else is optional.

Estate Planning makes sure that the right assets are in the right hands at the right time. It’s about putting in place some strategies now, so your final wishes are granted later on. There’s no point in building your wealth, for it to go to the wrong person (or worse, the government!) because you forgot about estate planning!

The Bulletproof Money Plan covers it all!
