What does financial security mean to you?

When you can walk into a grocery store and buy what you need without bringing a calculator, checking prices, or needing to put things back at the register. Is the anecdote I often use.

In a broader sense its being able to go to sleep at night with an unclenched jaw, not having a racing mind about how you are going to make ends meet.

Its knowing that you can care for yourself and loved ones as well as achieving the extras in life that make living exciting - travel, grooming, the new dress, the present for the grandkids.

Financial security means that for that pocket of your life (finances) you don't experience fear and worry. Your headspace isnt redirected to money troubles, you have the breathing room and capacity to dream, strive for goals and future plan.

If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive who would it be?

This is such a tough question! So many possibilities! But probably my nan, who I adored and sadly passed away a few years ago.

If you could live in any city in the world for a year, where would it be and why?

Tuscany - I would do nothing but eat pasta, drink wine, lounge in the sun and gossip. And it would be heaven.
