Our lives are made up of many big moments and it is these big moments that define us. Some of those moments are full of infinite joy – landing your dream job, marrying the love of your life, having your first child, buying your first pad, starting a business, travelling to places that have been on your bucket list for eternity and sharing moments with those you love.
Along the way there are also those not so good moments, breaking up with your love, losing your job, getting into a financial pickle, travel trips ending badly and your parents encountering declining health and needing care.
Like with anything new, we often find ourselves in an unfamiliar place as we reach these milestones. It’s at this point we reach a crossroad. We have two choices, to reach out for the right advice from someone who has travelled the road previously, or to go it alone.
This crossroad can be a defining moment in our life, as the decision not to seek the right advice may impact the rest of our life – significantly.
This book is packed with relatable stories, invaluable insights from contributing experts and extensive helpful resources that allows you to feel confident in making those important, informed decisions, particularly legal or practical decisions, on the Big Moments throughout your life journey and will save you time and money in not making the mistakes that so many of us make with “many first” events that can change the trajectory of your life.
