Herald Sun 15th June 2019
True financial wealth is measured in millions of dollars rather than thousands, and Australia’s mega-rich live by some simple rules that are vastly different than the rest of us.
David Wilson reporter for News.com.au interviewed Certified Financial Planner Peter Horsfield of SmartAdvice who say's "another way tycoons stayed flush, was through avoiding divorce by taking care of their spouses"..
Invest more time in your other half, he said. Shared experiences need not involve extra spending. Try jabbering “like two monkeys in a tree”, having a home-cooked meal or taking a romantic walk.
“Did you know that divorce is the fastest way to lose half or more of your wealth?” Mr Horsfield said.
HOW WEALTH IS SUSTAINED
• Splash on assets, not luxuries.
• Live like you’re poor. Chasing status is foolish.
• Avoid keeping up with the Joneses, Flanagans, Chans or Nguyens.
• Recycle your savings into investments.

Blue Drop - 28th June 2019
Mark McKenna reporter and writter for BlueDerop asked Peter Horsfield to contribute to his article about Fleet Vehicle down time and the cost of having a vehicle off the road.
While this was a really supprising request for a contribution, Peter was happy to oblige, since knowing from personal experience the benefits of proactive maintaining ones assets not only saves money, and increase the value of a classic asset, it also ensures ones quality of life is maintained, with as little disruption as possible. Previously owned a classice 1965 AC Cobra (picture insert).
Peter Horsefield, the Founder of Smart Advice, states that "putting off or prolonging important maintenance such as servicing can actually really impact your workforce. This can be from their comfort, for example insufficient air condition through the summer months, to potentially catastrophic consequences due to lax maintenance or inadequate insurance."

The New Daily -9th May
Cait Kelly, reporter for THENEWDAILY intervied Peter Horsfield about city professionals and business owners making the move to regoinal cities of Australia.
Four years ago Peter Horsfield and his wife migrated up the east coast – to near the top – of Australia.
The pair had been proud Sydneysiders for years until the traffic jams and daily bustle started to taint their love for the city.
“I looked overseas, I looked at moving to the Gold Coast, but Cairns just came up,” the financial planner told The New Daily.
“I basically did an analysis of how you can have a balance between generating income, servicing customers and having a higher quality of life, and Cairns just ticked those boxes.”
“Everything is ‘Hey wow’. People are lovely, you can talk with your neighbours, you don’t have to worry about traffic, cost of living is great, there are so many outdoors activities, and you can keep yourself engaged.”
The couple is just one example of the great middle-aged migration happening across the country.
But as thousands of Australians leave capital cities for greener pastures, they’re also pushing up house prices in some regional centres.
As of December 2018, only three capital cities across the country featured among centres with the 10 most expensive median house prices, with Sydney losing the top spot to Byron Bay, new research from Propertyology shows.

Inspire Sport - 25th March 201
Brett Downes of Inspire Sport interviewed Peter Horsfield about adult mindsets and achieving goals..
Our feelings of self-worth, are often twisted and magnified by our own expectations, past experiences and the physical changes due to our hormones and the foods and drinks we consume.
The good news is that we are not our past and each day we have the opportunity to live, believe in and do the activities to bring us closer to experiencing our ideal lives.
Frustratingly we all know the simple rules to be successful in life however it's never that easy.
To be successful we simply need to know specifically what we want, know how much it will cost us and pay for it.
I also know that change can happen in a moment, however coming to the decision to change can take years if not decades.
