Responsible lender Plend launches their "Financial Inclusion Report 2024: A Divided Nation", a study of the UK's slow and uneven recovery from the cost of living crisis. The survey of 4,000 people reveals unsettling financial fragility in UK households, with disproportionate impact on women; Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic households; and families with children. Plend's recommendations for improving access to consumer credit include: - modernising credit scoring methodologies - a national financial inclusion strategy, starting with a Fair Banking Act - financial support from government for inclusive lending products - a more effective referral system for consumers declined by banks (Disclosure: I was an early investor in Plend.) #impactinvesting #financialinclusion Robert Pasco James Pursaill Yvonne Fovargue Responsible Finance Olivia Norman Alice Tapper Luke Lang Opinium ClearScore University of Bristol Nationwide Building Society Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) Big Society Capital Fair By Design StepChange Debt Charity

Want to avoid long-term capital gains? Does your income vary from year to year? Giving money away is never a good strategy to build wealth, but I have seen that many successful families have a strong desire to give back to their communities and to others that are less fortunate. Strategies to make your money have the most impact is an important role of a financial advisor. I'm here to serve the families that want more sophisticate strategies to align their money to their values.

It’s Good Money Week running until the 6th October which is the campaign to help people make good money choices by raising awareness of sustainable, responsible and ethical financial options.

I am proud to announce that I am participating in something pretty cool in November along with a few of my colleagues from the larger Spartan Investment Group organization for a very worthy cause! Check out the details below and if you are so inclined we would greatly appreciate your support! 😊 __________________________________________________________________________________ The Spartan Team Gives Back: Building a house in Mexico for a family in need On November 23rd, 2024, twelve members of the Spartan Team will travel to Ensenada, Mexico, to build a two-bedroom home for a family in need – an ambitious project we’ll complete in just two days. Our team has not only committed their time to volunteer for this project, but they have each paid for their own flights and accommodation to be there. This new home will provide much more than shelter: studies show that children are three times more likely to graduate from high school when they have a stable home to return to. Most importantly, owning a home empowers families to break the cycle of poverty, creating lasting change for future generations. The main cost of this project comes from the building materials themselves, so we are asking for your support. How you can help: 1. Submit your donation through the YWAM Donation Portal (NLT October 31st 2024) o Click the blue “Donate to group” button. o Fill out the Contact Details and Payment Info o Copy and paste the following to the “Comments” section: “For Storage Missions House Build: Spartan Investment Group (11/23-11/26)” o Click “Create Payment” 2. Once submitted, send us a copy of your confirmation receipt to mikescott@spartaninvestors.com so that we can: o Allocate your donation to our Fundraising Goal o Keep track of all donations for tax receipts o Thank you for your contributions! This project is made possible through Homes of Hope in connection with YWAM, which is a 501(c)(3). All contributions can be tax deductible by paying through the Homes of Hope portal link above.

💰 The Real Importance of Money in Our Lives 💰 Money is far more than a currency; it’s an essential tool that touches every corner of our lives. It’s a resource that, when respected and managed well, empowers us to build, create, and contribute. Here’s why understanding its value is so crucial: 1️⃣ Freedom & Security: Money provides the freedom to make choices, to live without the stress of unmet needs. It gives us a sense of security, knowing that our loved ones are cared for, and our future is protected. 🛡️ 2️⃣ Empowerment to Dream: With financial stability comes the power to chase dreams without limitations. Whether it’s pursuing further education 📘, starting a business 🚀, or traveling the world 🌍, money allows us to turn our aspirations into reality. 3️⃣ Investing in Growth: Money allows us to invest — in ourselves, in knowledge, and in experiences. Every dollar invested in personal growth, skill-building, or health is a step toward a richer, more fulfilling life. 💡✨ 4️⃣ Supporting Others: Money gives us the ability to make an impact, whether through charity, supporting family, or building community initiatives. It’s a tool to share our success and contribute to something greater. 🤝 5️⃣ Peace of Mind: Financial stability creates peace. It removes a layer of worry, allowing us to focus on our passions, our loved ones, and our purpose without distraction. 🌌 In essence, money is a means, not an end. When understood and managed well, it provides us with opportunities, stability, and the capacity to grow and give back. 🌱 Let’s value it, use it wisely, and remember the purpose it serves in our journey. #FinancialWisdom #PurposeDrivenWealth #Empowerment #GrowthAndStability
