How Large is Your Emergency Fund Buffer?

Financial Planners, News, Wealth ProtectionBy Approved Financial Planners October 8, 2025

Life has a way of surprising us. Redundancies, health issues, rising interest rates, and unexpected bills can quickly destabilise even households that appear financially comfortable. Without an emergency fund buffer, these events can lead to spiralling debt, stress, and long-term setbacks. That is why building a financial safety net is one of the most important…

I started seeking financial advice about 10 years ago. Been through a couple of companies in that time, and AFP is the latest iteration. The previous companies were not bad, but they morphed or changed & like anyone I want a little stability. AFP have given me that stability, even if individual advisors have moved on! Tracey is my latest advisor & I could not be more comfortable. She's thorough, professional, quick with a personal anecdote to emphasise a point & not condescending about my lack of financial knowledge. Now that my retirement is looming she is taking care of all the paperwork & intricacies that go with switching to a new income stream.
What more could you ask for???

Tracey and Kim have been incredibly helpful from start to finish. They guided me and my wife through setting up our life insurance with the right benefits, helped tidy up a few loose ends in our overall finances, and gave us the clear information we needed to confidently move forward with a property investment. Professional, supportive, and genuinely focused on our best interests — highly recommended.

My meeting with Daniel was very positive as we discussed a range of issues in relation to my superannuation and my financial and personal health which were pertinent to me. Also looked at what if cash flow scenarios in regard to bookkeeping opportunities and creating a new super fund if matters come to pass. Also the coffee and biscuits were great.

The team at Approved Financial Planners has been amazing in supporting and guiding us through the development of a financial plan for our future. From the beginning, they took the time to truly understand our goals and objectives, making us feel heard and valued.

What stood out was their ability to present tailored scenarios with adjustable factors, helping us make informed decisions with confidence. They also went above and beyond by assisting with the implementation of important elements such as insurance and wills, giving us peace of mind that our family's assets are protected in case of the unexpected.

We’re incredibly grateful for their professionalism, care, and expertise. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful financial planning.

On March 6 both Cindy and I had our annual financial review with Approved Financial Planners in Floreat WA. Our financial planner is Tracey Corbett and this is our second year where Tracey has been our planner and her advice has been very informative and is explained in such a way that both Cindy and I can understand. All sections of both our financial plans were presented and explained in lay-man terms.

We are both looking forward to seeing Tracey next year for our next review.

Just completed another annual review with Dan at Approved Financial Planners. It is so nice to see such positive and pleasing results as presented by Dan and to know our financial planning is in good hands. Ongoing planning and advice from Dan is always welcoming and if Dan is not available, we have found Christa the office manager always willing and able to assist and deal with any queries we may have. So, needing a financial adviser then contact Dan and his team at Approved Financial Planners

Thanks Dan and Staff for the annual review. The forecasting for retirement and the software used was very illustrative and useful to understand. Growth in funds and super has been robust in the last 12 months and advice for the next 12 months taken on board. Look fwd to making a few tweaks to the portfolio once the report is completed.
