Changing Jobs

For most of us our job is more than just an income. It’s pretty common for us to derive a great deal of satisfaction from our work and our career choices define who we are and how others perceive us.  For that very reason, changing jobs can have a big emotional impact – not to mention the financial implications of a potential change in income.

This case study features James, a 50 year old high school principal, whose job ended after 20 years. Find out how James adjusted to the change.

Divorce

The end of a significant relationship is a difficult time, marking the move into a new phase of your life. It’s hard enough navigating the emotional upheaval and dealing with often conflicting emotions, let alone working through the practical considerations of finances and the separation of joint assets.

While the challenges of separation are considerable, there is a real opportunity for you to seek professional support and work towards a positive future for yourself.

Inheritance

While an inheritance can sound appealing in theory, when it actually happens to you and it’s the result of the loss of someone close, the emotions around that loss can make dealing with the bequest particularly challenging.
