Hi guys and gals,
I just got a new job that pays $140,000 per year. That's $3,800 per fortnight after tax. I am about to undertake a mortgage of about $1300 per fortnight (some of which my partner will pay).
I have never seen money like this before and don't want to do the typical thing guys my age (late 20's) do and buy boats and sports cars. I want to pay off my mortgage early, send future kids to private school and retire in my 50s. Is it worth going to a financial planner? I am so skeptical about these guys and how useful they really are.
Any advice here on how to manage this new money is very welcome (increase mortgage payments vs pay more into retirement fund vs investment property vs stock market etc.).
If it was your money, what would you do? If you currently are doing it, and it's working for you, even better.
Thanks!
