  • Given the impacts on the cost of living, we’ve also included an overview of positive legislative changes that may be relevant for you to discuss with your planner at your next appointment. 
  • For those of you looking to keep busy, connected and earning a little extra money, we have included information on casual work options – also termed ‘side hustles’.
