©  Copyright Wealth Today Pty Ltd A SAVING NATION? Australian households’ saving records are among the worst in the developed world. “ The Investment and Financial Services Association’’.   Recent research puts the average household saving rate in Australia less than 3% of disposable household income, well behind the 16% rate achieved in Italy, 13.8% in Korea and 12% in France.
Nearly half of working Australians  do not  have enough savings to last them  more than one month  if they lose their job or have a crisis.  They would be forced to depend on  credit cards  to cover their expenses.  A SAVING NATION?
Getting your clients a mortgage is only half the job!
Getting them  out of debt , under the cover of  appropriate protection  whilst building  wealth for the future , is the complete picture.
We are in the midst of one of the most significant changes to the financial market place in many years. CONSIDER THIS The financial market place The mortgage broking industry is being significantly restructured by The GFC, Government regulation and bank aggression. ©  Copyright Wealth Today Pty Ltd
