YOLO - making every moment count

Acronyms can be confusing - like mistaking LOL for “Lots of Love” instead of “Laugh Out Loud.” However, once learnt, they often carry a deeper meaning.

Take YOLO for example, “You Only Live Once.” This can be perceived as a reminder to think about your choices now and how they contribute to shaping your future. The value of these acronyms can be important to consider through the journey of life and the many curve balls it may throw.

Finding a method that suits you

YOLO stands out in raising the question of what is important to you, and how important is it. Bucket lists tend to be a popular method in setting out life goals to achieve – whether they involve making a purchase, traveling, or spending meaningful time alone or with loved ones.

The shift in lifestyle priorities

As we grow older, our priorities change, as does our body’s ability to do things .Organising our finances becomes increasingly important, particularly when considering upcoming changes that may see pensions included in the value of an estate for Inheritance Tax purposes, as well as our need to plan for potential long-term care fees for either yourself or loved ones.
