Summer seems to have arrived in its best array! We hope you’ve been enjoying the sun in the Costa del UK and have been finding ways to keep cool and comfortable.

We’ve certainly been making the most of it here at Wealth Matters. Our lunchtime picnic area at the office is currently being very well used, and we spent a balmy evening recently holding a BBQ for some of our team. We have welcomed a couple of new faces to our team this month, who we will introduce to you in due course.

In this month’s newsletter, we’ll take a look at our most-asked question: “how much money do I need to retire?”. Following this, we’ve got a lovely interview with Rachel Ruston, one of our paraplanners, who has recently returned from maternity leave. We’ll then touch on what the latest Bank of England base rate changes mean for you. After a long run of increases, it’s slowly on its way back down.

Julian’s wife, Katya, held another open garden event this year, following the success of the last two years, which you can read about later on in this newsletter.

And finally, Toby has a few tips for you on how to keep yourselves and your canine friends cool and comfortable in the heat. We hope you enjoy this newsletter.
