The implications of not having enough in retirement

How many people have you heard talk about travelling the world in retirement? And how many people past retirement age do you know who are still working part-time? Or forced to reach out to family and friends for help? Depending on whether you’ve already started to get the jump on retirement, not saving enough for your post-working-life dream can have dire consequences. When you break it down, ‘retirement’ effectively...

Regular holidays: why you shouldn’t skimp on your leave

When was the last time you took a holiday? And I’m not just talking about a long weekend out of town. I mean an actual holiday? If you’re perpetually flat out with work and, say, family, it’s hard, I know. It’s easy to fall into the trap of putting work before yourself. If you run your own business, it becomes even more difficult. Often, you can convince yourself that...

Cryptocurrency: what is it orange wealth

Cryptocurrency: what is it and should I be investing in it?

We’ve had a few clients asking us about cryptocurrencies, or ‘digital currencies’, recently and whether they should be part of their investment strategy. While it’s not something I’m personally investing in, it’s certainly a space I’m keeping an eye on. More out of interest than anything. For the uninitiated, there’s a lot to get your head around. In fact, there are three key concepts you need to have...

How good is your credit rating?

To say your credit rating’s important is an understatement. Interestingly, though, the majority of Australians have no idea what their credit score is. If you happen to be in the ‘no idea’ camp, you’re not alone – you’re one of the 90 percent of people who don’t know what their credit rating is, according to Australia’s credit-reporting agencies. Now, your credit rating isn’t something that’s typically top of...

The four lessons I’ve learnt from being a dad

Being a dad. Where do you even begin? It’s a mix of being the most amazing experience and the most challenging at the same time. In fact, it’s difficult to put it all into words, actually. Parenthood’s something that you don’t fully appreciate until you experience it. The joys, the trials, the tribulations, the challenges – things you can experience together all in the space of half-an-hour. As clichéd as it sounds,...

Why you shouldn’t blow your tax return

It’s that time of year. If you’re like me, chances are you’ve done your tax return by now and are waiting on a potential return. Going by the stats, you’re likely one of the 82 percent of Australians who’ll get a refund this year. On average, Australians typically get a return of around $2,112, give or take. Now, it’s easy to fall into the trap of seeing your tax...

How I changed my career and started a business

Like most, I came out of uni all guns blazing, wanting to do something with my life. Looking back at the first 10 years of my career, everything was going great. In fact, I loved it. Post graduation, I worked with IBM, then headed to the UK before returning to Melbourne to deliver business and software solutions for a raft of blue-chip corporates. Life was good. But then something happened...

How to use debt | Why it’s not all bad

Debt. It’s an often misunderstood term. For your average Australian, it’s typically perceived as a dirty word, conjuring up a degree of anxiety in the process. When it comes to the D-word, Australia is one of the most leveraged countries in the world. With average household debt sitting at around 189 per cent of annual household income, it’s a bit of a worry. A lot of that has been spurred...

These guys are terrific! They talked to me like a mate with my goals and financials and ended up refinancing my entire loan at a better rate. They really helped me plan for the future of my family.

Very helpful and friendly service. It felt like they really cared about me and my future rather than just trying to sell me a product.

Jason and Michael are genuinely nice guys whose focus is purely on how they can use their skills to make our lives better (and more affordable). They are a delight to work with and don't ever "sell" to us anything we aren't interested in. They are a breath of fresh air in an industry that is full of sharks! Highly, highly recommended.

Working with Jason and the Orange Wealth team for ongoing financial coaching and support has been invaluable. We first met Jason and the team in 2015 with our first child on the way, a pile of credit card debt and a feeling we needed to grow up. 12 months later we bought our first home, four years later we upsized to our dream forever home! Jason works with us to optimise our supers, mortgages, insurances, long-term investment and the pathway to our dream retirement - all within a spending plan and lifestyle that is comfortable and rewarding! Jason is personable and engaging and is always there when we need; to support decisions, help us prioritise and get us the best outcome. We look forward to continue working with Jason as we grow our investments.

I've never reviewed a service provider before, but couldn't resist posting this as I found the team at Orange Wealth absolutely incredible to deal with and worthy of a 5 star VERY positive rating!After unsuccessfully trying to find someone to listen to my needs regarding my finances and planning for the future, a friend referred me to Orange Wealth. I looked them up on line and was immediately comforted by the introduction to their business and was actually excited to make contact and see how they could help me.I submitted an on line enquiry and contact from Orange Wealth followed very quickly. Their prompt, efficient, professional yet down to earth manner was a stand out.I met Michael & Jason at their office to discuss my needs and I left feeling really comfortable and very satisfied that I had engaged a professional team of people to help me moving forward.They structured my accounts, superannuation and life insurance to a point where I can rest in the knowledge that I now have all my affairs in order and working in my favour.... Finally! I have structure and a plan in place which offers me peace of mind.Michael & Jason continue to offer ongoing support and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services. I'm so glad I met them, they offer a unique and highly professional service... very approachable too!!Orange Wealth, a big THANK YOU!!!
