Description

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by money worries or uncertain about managing your finances, especially with the ongoing cost of living crisis?

In this episode of It’s a Mindset, I’m joined by Jacqui Clarke, a personal wealth and money management expert, who shares over three decades of experience in helping individuals, families, and business owners manage and preserve their wealth. As the author of Stop Worrying About Money, Jacqui’s message is simple: with careful planning and effort, you can manage your money, so it doesn’t manage you.

With more than 25 years at Deloitte and PWC, Jacqui’s expertise has helped high-net-worth families and business owners take control of their financial futures. In this episode, we’ll dive into practical strategies for managing money, recognising the hidden costs in our lives, and overcoming financial challenges.

Key Episode Takeaways:

• The importance of knowing the true cost of your life—how much it really costs to open the front door of your home and manage everyday expenses.
• The danger of expense creep and how it can silently impact your finances.
• How to become financially empowered by taking full responsibility for your finances, avoiding delegating your financial decisions to others, and recognising financial abuse. By understanding and addressing financial control, you can make better, more informed choices for your future.
• The role of grief and loss in reshaping how we view money and what really matters in our lives.

I can deeply relate to Jacqui’s insights, particularly the idea of being empowered to take control of my finances rather than feeling like a passenger in the process. Her advice on financial responsibility is a powerful reminder of how much we can achieve when we stop burying our heads in the sand and start being proactive with our money.
