Tony & Laura's Story

Strategy and support to take control of their financial future and build lasting wealth.

Before connecting with Your Future Strategy, Tony and Laura were doing their best with what they had, but without a clear long-term plan, their financial decisions felt reactive. They wanted to reduce their home loan, invest for the future, and eventually achieve early financial freedom, but weren’t sure where to start.

Referred by a close friend who’d had great success working with our team, Tony saw firsthand the value of long-term strategy and support. That’s when things changed. With expert guidance across lending, tax, and financial planning, Tony and Laura purchased and renovated their family home, began development on two investment properties in Perth, and gained confidence in their overall strategy.

We also gave niche advice like navigating performance rights to help solidify some other important elements to their strategy.

Now, with a practical plan in place and a team that understands their goals, Tony and Laura feel more in control of their future than ever before and are actively creating new goals with us as they progress through their plan.

“One of the things I am most proud of is the positive impact we have been able to have on the financial security and freedom of so many people; many of whom we have helped get into such a strong financial position that they could leave the workforce in their 40s and 50s if they wanted to.”

“After more than a decade in financial services, I still enjoy the buzz of being a part of a team that helps clients achieve their financial goals. Finding the right loan for each client can make the world of difference to their overall financial position.

My number one financial tip for clients is to never lose sight of your big picture goals, and remember to consider how every decision is helping you get a step closer to achieving them.”

Tony & Laura's Goals
Restructure
Reduce their home loan
Like many families, Tony and Laura wanted to get on top of their home loan, but weren’t sure what was possible or how fast they could progress. By helping them restructure their lending and view their finances through a strategic lens, we accelerated their debt reduction plan and ensured more of their money was working toward their goals, not just their mortgage.
Build A Portfolio
Through considered property investment
As part of their overarching strategy, we selected a block of land in Perth to help them build two investment properties.
Financial Freedom
As early as possible please!
Tony and Laura knew they didn’t want to wait until 65 to enjoy life to the full, they just weren’t sure how to bring that future forward. With the right structure in place, we helped them map a pathway to early financial freedom, giving them the confidence to make bold decisions, reduce unnecessary debt, and move forward.
In their words

"We finally feel in control of our financial future. There’s a clear strategy, expert guidance, and real confidence in the steps we’re taking."
