Financial Planning, A Guide To How It Can Change Your Work-life Balance

Retirement planning can wait until the later years, right? Wrong. You might miss great opportunities to change your life if you do. Very few people on their death beds wished they had spent more time at work which is where the newly launched ‘BVA guide to planning your last 10 years in practice’ can help vets. It advises on making the right financial and professional decisions to ensure the work-life balance that best suits them and avoids burnout. The guide emphasises the importance of financial planning for retirement from a young age which makes this a useful resource for vets at any and every stage of their careers as well as those approaching retirement. With options for changing role or career path within the profession, even in the run up to retirement, vets will find a wealth of ideas for action and help for planning a clear route through the maze of financial decisions they come across. One of the first BVA members to use the guide was Joerg Niehoegen MRCVS, he said: “The new BVA guide to planning for your last 10 years in practice is a ‘must read’ for everybody getting close to retirement. It discusses issues you did not even think relevant. Not only will us old-timers find plenty of food for thought, younger vets will find stacks of good ideas and I wish I had known these things earlier.” Another BVA member said: “The guide gave me the confidence to negotiate a reduced working week and retain my partnership which I thought was impossible. I am much happier with a better work-life balance now.” The cost for BVA members is £25 and for non-members it is £50. Prices include postage and VAT does not apply.

The BVA guide is supported by a CPD course of the same name held in Liverpool on 27th June, see http://www.bva.co.uk/events/ for further information.
