Mid-Life Stage: Ages 30-50

Body

Financial planning services are adapted to people of different ages. The individual strategies and services recommended to someone in one stage of life are often different to those that are recommended to people within a different age group. Experienced financial planners will call upon an age group framework to inform the services they recommend. However, financial advisers must consider individual circumstances, life events and long-term goals when making recommendations.

The mid-life stage typically includes people over the age of 30 but under 50. During this stage of life, people start to have increased financial obligations and start considering their financial future more seriously, making it easier to engage these people in financial planning services compared to younger age groups. These people are within an important stage of their own wealth accumulation period.

Milestones within the mid-life stage

During the mid-life stage, many people will experience increased wealth due to career progression and promotions. How mid-lifers manage this increased wealth can significantly affect their financial future, which is what makes financial planning services especially beneficial at these moments. Even if people in this age bracket aren’t experiencing increased wealth, they could use financial planning services to strive for a more comfortable future.

Some of the other milestones and related services during this time are:

  • An increased focus on saving for major purchases, such as buying a property
  • Saving to start a family
  • Paying for children’s education
  • Bolstering emergency funds and retirement investments

For these reasons, many mid-lifers can benefit from specific financial services, such as mortgage advice, savings and investment advice, pension planning and more. Without utilising financial planning services during this stage of life, individuals might miss opportunities to improve their financial circumstances in the future, including during retirement.

Bespoke financial planning services for mid-lifers

As mentioned, it’s crucial that individuals are treated as such and only receive tailored financial planning services. People during this stage of life may need advice and services related to other life events that are fairly common during these ages, such as:

  • Business ventures
  • Divorce and separation
  • Caregiving to parents and loved ones
  • Receiving an inheritance or a windfall
  • Changing careers and or re-education

Our financial advisers and planners always provide an individual service, which accounts for your specific life events and experiences. Contact us now for more information.

Andrea - mid 50s

business owner

I came to see Josh not only helping me plan for my retirement but also in helping me look after a Trust fund for my Nieces. Josh is always quick to respond to queries and deals with all requests in a timely and efficient manner. I feel very comfortable in the fact that if I ask for something to be done or need some advice he ALWAYS delivers.
I have not always had this service from other financial advisors. I would happily recommend Josh to anyone needing financial support.

Following our mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis and admission into a residential care home, my sister and I were looking for financial advice on the options available to fund her care. Our main concern before speaking with Josh was finding an adviser who would provide us with sound financial advice.
Josh provided us with various funding options relating to our mother's residential care provision. These options gave my sister and I the information we needed to determine the best way forward in respect of funding our mother's care needs. Josh provided clear, concise, and timely financial advice, and responses to all our questions were swift, friendly, and easy to understand. He also went out of his way to secure an immediate needs care annuity within the timescales required to meet my mother's urgent funding needs.
My sister and I received excellent support from Warwick Road Financial Services and believe that, without Josh's assistance, we would have struggled to achieve a successful outcome.
My sister and I have a cautious approach when it comes to making major financial decisions. We believe the approach used, and the advice offered by Warwick Road Financial Services, would be of benefit to people who, like us, have a cautious approach when it comes to financial matters.

IT professional – requiring and receiving ongoing Pre-retirement advice

I approached Jethro several years ago because my wife and I really hadn’t paid any attention to our pension planning. Jethro helped us by identifying various plans from previous employers, and a personal plan that I’d left to stagnate from my contracting days.
The result was that Jethro managed to consolidate all these into single managed portfolios for each of us. One thing we really liked was his clear explanation, regular communication, and friendly but professional approach. He explained things to us in language we could both understand. We found the experience very easy to navigate thanks to Jethro’s detailed and clear explanation and guidance.
We would recommend Jethro to people who need a full-service pension professional to guide them clearly and safely through their options and manage the entire process for them.

Miss Parker

I instructed Claire Adams from Warwick Road Financial services to assist me with consolidating my various pensions into one with Quilter.
Claire took care of everything on my behalf and kept me updated at all times.  Clare was extremely professional, efficient and explained everything in great detail. 
As I was so impressed I also took out life cover, which again Claire found the best deal and it was set up almost instantly.
I would highly recommend Claire to future clients, friends and family as I know they will receive a first-class Service.

58, Director

We originally approached Lawrence because we were looking for help with our insurance/mortgage and general finances, whilst in our early 20’s.
Before we had met you, we were concerned about obtaining financial advice from somebody who we didn’t know or wasn’t recommended, due to a family members previous bad experience.
Lawrence helped us by putting us at ease, explaining everything in layman’s terms, so that we understood the advice and were always given opportunities to wait, delay or decline any plans that were offered.
As a result, almost 30 years later we still see Lawrence at least once per year to discuss our current situation and our plans. We are in an excellent position financially regarding our mortgage, savings and pensions, largely thanks to Lawrence.
One thing I really like is the trustworthy and friendly attitude he has always shown towards us.
I found the experience very comforting, knowing that our finances were being taken care of by a professional and that our long-term plans were reachable.
The sort of person that would benefit most from using them would be a young couple, starting out in their careers, as we were when we first met Lawrence.
