Welcome to the fourth and final episode of our Milestones by Decade mini-series! We’re excited to continue this journey with more insightful conversations with our Client Advisers. In each episode, we reflect on the lessons and advice they wish they’d received a decade ago, offering practical tips for navigating key milestones, from your 20s to your 50s.
As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, we’ve had the privilege of guiding clients from all walks of life at different stages for over two decades. In this mini-series, we hope to be able to impart both life and money wisdom to you, to inspire you and help you avoid costly mistakes.
In this episode of the Money Wisdom podcast mini-series Milestones by Decade, Amelia chats with Eleanor, one of Providend’s founding members and Associate Director of the Advisory Team, who is in her 60s. Eleanor shares the lessons, mindset shifts, and life choices she wishes she had embraced in her 50s.
From redefining success as “enough” rather than “more,” to using money as a tool to protect what matters most, Eleanor shares insights that go beyond finances. She talks about practical approaches like keeping lifestyle costs in check, planning for retirement with intention, and balancing work, family, and personal wellbeing.
This episode is a guide for anyone in their 50s and beyond, offering practical advice and inspiration to focus on your ikigai, embrace sufficiency, and prioritise what brings true fulfilment in this chapter of your life.
