New Year, new financial you? 10 tips for getting on track in 2024
Whether or not you make formal resolutions at the start of a year, I am willing to bet that you have certain hopes when it comes to your financial situation.
You may dream of retiring at age 55. Perhaps you want to buy a holiday home or an investment property? Do you want to take a year off to travel the world? Maybe you know you need to put a few things in place to get properly organised?
You need to take action to turn these hopes into reality.
Invariably we could all do a little better and a little focus rarely goes amiss. With that in mind here’s a list of 10 steps you can take to get yourself financially fitter in 2024.
Want to be a global citizen? Want the freedom to live wherever you choose?
Citizenship- or residency-by- investment could be the answer.
As the world, and where we can choose to live, is affected by events and economics, many people are considering alternative citizenship and places to live. The recent pandemic, wars, economic factors – all have affected how we see our futures. And where we want to live and retire.
It is not as easy as simply deciding you want to live in a certain country as obtaining residency and visas can be complex. The choices about where to live and work are restricted for most people and few nationalities have real freedom of movement.
Holding passports from certain countries is extremely limiting so you may like the option of obtaining better travel documents.
If you have passports from countries such as Pakistan, India, Lebanon, Egypt, and many other African countries to name just a few, you will know how difficult it can be to travel or live elsewhere.
People from developed countries would also often like the opportunity to live and work in other countries without restrictions.
The good news is that there are options where you can obtain both the right to live and work, as well as a citizenship.
We can offer a range of residency- and citizen-by-investment programmes which will give you the desired economic freedom and choice of where to live.

Currency transfers – how to get the best rates with full security
Most expats have a need to move money between currencies and it makes sense to find a way to do this securely, easily and where you can save money.
You can do this easily, from your desk or sofa. Importantly, this is fully secure, properly regulated and in view of recent issues with some UAE companies, I only work with a currency broker with a good track record.
The online services offered by retail banks are rarely competitive and even if they do not charge a fee they make their profit on the poor rates of exchange offered.
There is a better way. Everyone wants to make savings so this is how you can make easy savings and get value for your hard-earned money.
