What Our Clients Say
Gaynor McTaggart
"On contacting Christine at Lush Wealth I had hoped to gain a better understanding of my finances and improve my financial literacy. I had some goals I had hoped to achieve but did not know how to get there.
The planning process was helpful to define goals further and understand how to achieve those. I was then able to better understand and manage my spending.
I am now much more adept at managing cash flow and my superannuation is improving, ensuring my retirement plan is achievable and on track. We have executed my Wills and Estate planning documents in case of the unforeseen. I feel comfortable my finances are well-managed and working for me.
After an unforeseen life disruption, I was in a position where I needed Lush Wealth‘s help for peace of mind. Had I not sorted out my finances it would have been a lot more stressful. Knowing my financial planning is well-managed gives me peace of mind. Christine and her team at Lush Wealth are extremely understanding of my unique position and made the process easy to understand and are fast at facilitating it."
