Life is not a rehearsal. You only get one shot at achieving the retirement you want.

Not planning to Retire with More can have significant consequences. Most people will spend at least 20 years in retirement and that is a long time not having the life you deserve after years of hard work.

Craig Meathrel is the founding director of Strategiq Wealth. He works with a range of people from different backgrounds, professions and stages of life. His primary expertise is helping over 50s improve their finances so they can Retire Debt Free, Retire with More and ultimately Retire Well.

Often clients come to Craig concerned that they are not building wealth fast enough. They have been working hard for years, earning good incomes, but are frustrated at not being where they thought they would be financially; their super is too low, and their debt is too high. Other clients have felt they were not optimising their money effectively, despite having relative financial security. They want to build an even better lifestyle or leave a legacy for future generations.

What they have in common is they are looking for smarter ways to use their cash flow and assets, to make more money, and set themselves up so they can have more of what they want in retirement. Craig gets their money sorted so they no longer have confusion around which strategies would best suit them and do not have to worry about making the wrong decisions themselves.

They also want the confidence of working with an independent financial adviser that will work entirely for them.

It all starts with taking some important time to understand who you are, what you value, what you’re trying to achieve, and what is slowing you down. And then from a point of clarity, Craig will help you move forward in a way that is going to work for you.
