Pics from a financial planning talk which I attended yesterday afternoon.
Some very useful tips and advice given by the very able speaker, one of which was to open your own bank, i.e. open an account separate from your main one and use it only for deposits of a certain percentage of your salary every month where the funds can only be used in cases of emergency.
Effectively, this becomes your emergency fund which you can use instead of borrowing money in cases of emergency, or worse still, using your credit card (thereby incurring the deadly 24% p.a. interest!!!)

Pics taken at the health expo yesterday. Attended the morning plenary session on Obesity and Diabetes, and it was PACKED! Never thought so many people would turn up for a session at 8.30am on a Friday morning. Its very gratifying to see so many interested in our nation’s health issues. The session on obesity presented by Prof Ian Caterson from University of Sydney was both enlightening and inspiring. Separate post on this session to follow.
Despite the seriousness of the issues presented, Prof Ian Caterson managed to share several light moments with the crowd which helped bring home his messages. For me anyway.
Full house!
