Financial Planning Week is an annual event brought to you by the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA). This year it runs from Monday 24th to Sunday 30th May.

Matt Hern’s Money Guide includes lots of articles to help you make smart financial decisions to create and protect your wealth. Two articles I recommend as a priority are:

Solving The Financial Decisions On Your Mind

In this 45 minute webinar I answer the top three issues submitted by readers of my free regular newsletter. Most issues fell into these three broad categories: Planning, Saving and Investing. For example:

“How will I have enough money for…”
“How can I save more money for…”
“Where is the right place to invest my savings?”

For an insight into the process to resolve these issues watch the recording of the webinar here.

Defining TRUE financial planning

Many people I meet are confused about what financial planning actually is. In this article I discuss my definition of true financial planning.

Free Q & A with “Ask an Expert”

One of the featured programs during Financial Planning Week is a complimentary Ask an Expert service. Ask an Expert is designed to give you an introduction into the benefits of financial planning advice by giving your the opportunity to ask a FPA member your financial question. This special service is only available from 24 May – 30 June 2010.

Each planner taking part in Ask an Expert is a member of the FPA and will answer questions on financial matters such as superannuation, savings and investments, managing tax and retirement planning.

To directly ask me a question click on the FPA Ask an Expert logo to the right to go directly to the FPA’s online form.

Alternatively you can find a financial planner in your area in Australia and ask them a question. Browse the Ask an Expert financial planners here.
