Wealth Creation Strategies

 

Many Australians aspire to build up their wealth for themselves, their families and to improve their future well-being. 

However, the method each person follows depends on a number of different factors, including their goals, their timeframe and their tolerance for risk. Here’s how each of those interwoven decisions affect how people approach wealth creation. 

  • Goals – Everyone has a different idea about what they’d like out of life. For example, for some, the dream is to own a family home, while others would like a property portfolio. Your individual goal determines how much you need to save, how much you may need to invest and how long it will take to reach your dream. Your planner can help you work on these goals. 

  • Timeframe – The amount of time each of us have to save and invest also affects how much wealth we can potentially build. For example, someone starting out their career as a police officer will have longer to put money away than someone who is about to retire. A planner can help people to tweak their strategies based on how long they have to hit their goals. 

  • Risk tolerance – While there are no guarantees when it comes to investment, certain options are considered riskier than others. Generally, higher risk investment options are associated with higher rewards, but there’s also a greater chance the investor could lose money. On the other hand, more conservative options often attract lower returns, but the risk of losing money may be reduced. The amount of risk an investor takes on is often dictated by their age and investment goals. A planner can look more closely at an individual’s circumstances to see where they may fit on the risk spectrum.  

With that in mind, here are some of the ways people choose to go about building their wealth. Again, a planner can help to work out a tailored plan to fit your individual circumstances. 

Popular wealth creation strategies

  1. Making super contributions – As a tax-friendly savings vehicle, superannuation allows Australians to accumulate wealth for retirement.   

  2. Investing in property – With Australian housing prices on the rise, many have turned to bricks and mortar to build their wealth. Generally, returns are made when the property is leased out (rental income) or when the property is sold (capital gains). 

  3. Building a share portfolio – Investing in the sharemarket is often seen as an alternative to property investment. Share investors make gains by selling a share they’ve owned or through dividends, which are a proportion of the company’s profits that are paid out to eligible shareholders (only some company’s pay dividends).  

  4. Setting a budget – A budget can help people to reduce their costs and increase their savings. Over time, this can result in more money for the future.

  5. Increasing income – Getting a pay rise – whether it’s through promotion or CPI increases – can help to build wealth if the additional income is directed towards long-term goals.
