Accumulation stage: 30 to 40
Build on your foundation
Even when day-to-day life is really busy, it’s important to keep your financial future in focus with things like pension planning and making the most of other tax-efficient investments.
This is your life
In your 30s you might be thinking about settling down, buying a home and starting a family. Alongside progressing in your career, you’ve probably got a bit more disposable income too. Financial planning through this stage in life can help you build security for the future.
Career building
As you progress in your career and become more experienced, there’s a chance to build on your knowledge and professional development. You’ll probably have more financial responsibilities too.
Settling down
Getting married or deciding to settle down with your partner is a big life event. It’s also an opportunity to think about your finances and goals as you get a bit more settled.
Moving home
You could be ready to build equity by upsizing your home as your family grows. It’s likely to be your biggest investment and an opportunity to accumulate wealth.
Disposable income
Your 30s bring some financial confidence with disposable income to spend on entertainment and travel. This is also the stage where you could use some of that extra cash to invest for the long term.
