Callum Tapping - Financial Adviser

🚨 Brave interview by Bellamy about his struggles due to the lack of financial advice. As a former full time player myself and now a financial planner i know he’s not the only one that has financial struggles after football. I hope Bellamy can get himself back on track with the right people around him. 🤞

“ You will finish your career and you will still be a young man, and when you finish who's going to pay your stuff then? You are going to have to learn to survive. You are going to have live in the real world."

Bellamy also mentions the importance of regulated advice

“ If they are not regulated, it's the Wild West ”

Great day at the Christmas lunch with the team Friday. Finance and Football talked with this man.

Talking about both made me once again question if there is enough education around financial planning for professional sports people 🤔

🔐 It may seem early to start planning for retirement if you're young, but keep in mind people are retiring later in life and living longer than they used to. You will likely need an income for at least two decades of retirement. This is why it may be a good idea to start investing early and take advantage of your employer's pension plan.
