MONEY WORDS BY DANIEL MCGREGOR
WHERE DID YOU LEARN ABOUT MONEY? Sadly, there’s not much of a focus on financial education when we’re growing up. Most of us get our money ‘skills’ from a combination of what we learned from our parents and a lifetime of trial and error.

here are a couple of issues here… with no disrespect to my parents or anyone else’s, the reality is that most of them had little idea of what they were doing because no one ever taught them how to manage money. So, watching our parents work their own way through trial and error isn’t a great start and then we’re left to do the same. That’s the second issue, trial and error is not a great recipe for success when you only have a limited time that you’ll be earning an income… we don’t have time to make mistakes! Growing up, like everyone, I didn’t know anything about money. I grew up in a household where we wanted for nothing and Mum and Dad were financially secure in their retirement, more so from hard work than anything else (and a strong commitment to paying off their mortgage). It’s only since gaining my own knowledge and experience when it comes to wealth creation that I can see that with just a few simple tweaks, Mum and Dad could have had double, triple, maybe quadruple what they have now… but they didn’t know as no one taught them. Today we have a situation in which people are living longer and there is a growing realisation that

Daniel McGregor is a founding partner of Wealth Train, an Australian Financial Services Licence Holder (474966) empowering Australians with financial education. Any advice given is general in nature and readers should seek their own professional advice before making any financial decisions. we need to make our money work harder. There’s a whole industry set up to ‘help’ you with this… the financial services industry. Many of us are thrown to the wolves. We don’t really understand the impact of borrowing and interest, we’re generally clueless (ignorant is probably the truth) about super and usually too scared to even think about investing. And
then when the realisation comes that we need to do something, we don’t really know where to turn which leads many people into the hands of a financial planner. I’m sure you’ve seen enough financial planning scandals in the news to see how much ‘help’ the financial planning has been in guiding people when it comes to money. So, this is an intervention. Money shouldn’t be a taboo topic, it should be something we are all clued up about, something we all have a reasonably strong concept of and an understanding of what our options are. It is your life and it is your income. It’s certainly not my job to tell you how you should spend either of these. What I do want to do, however, is help you do it with your eyes open so that you can be making informed decisions about your money, not guessing which way to go and hoping for the best via trial and error. Financial education is your path to understanding money and understanding money is your key to making the most of what you earn. Make this the moment you decide to get the right information in your hands and start driving your money forward with purpose.

ENTERTAINMENT WORDS BY DENISE MILLS
MAY 26 THE AUSTRALIAN P!NK TRIBUTE DINNER AND SHOW
The Sydney based Australian P!NK show is coming to Orange, to celebrate a much loved American artist. This show delivers a high energy tribute to P!nk, reproducing not only her music but also the onstage antics, images and costumes. The show features hits such as Get the Party Started, Most Girls, Stupid Girlz and much more. The show will be on 26 May 2017 at Orange Ex Services Club.
JUNE 3 MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow is hitting the road and coming to Orange!

No road is left untravelled and no sides are left unsplit! The comedy performance will take place at 8pm on 3 June at Orange Civic Theatre
SMITH & JONES Smith & Jones are a duo featuring keyboard player and vocalist Abby Smith, with guitarist, harmonica player and vocalist Sophie Jones. During their time together, Smith & Jones they have played countless gigs, supported Dragon and The Pigs at the Crooked Mountain Festival, played shows
with the likes of Archie Roach, Kate MillerHeidke, Tex Perkins & The Ape and The Black Sorrows with Vika & Linda Bull as part of Bathurst’s Inland Sea of Sound Festival. Though their roots will always remain in the foundations of country music, their originals have found an undefinable energy of their
own. Part classic country ballads, part sweet jazz standards, and often with a tongue firmly planted in cheek, their beauty is in their harmonic simplicity and lyrical power. Smith and Jones will be providing a chilled Sunday afternoon from 1pm on 28 May at Orange Ex Services Club.
ON NOW PRIVATE TREASURES PUBLIC PLEASURES Generous collectors share their private treasures for our public pleasure in this exhibition revealing hidden gems from homes across the Central West.

The exhibition also presents significant objects d’art from African, South-East Asian and Oceanic cultures.
