Social Media and Northwood Financial Services cc
At NFS, we have been very busy! Apart from continuing to look after your financial well-being and offering brilliant advice, we have also been hard at work on our Social Media presence.
Those of you who have recently visited our website at www.northwood.co.za, would have noticed that the pages are being updated to better reflect our current services. Here you will find information on our business, our philosophy and our service offerings. This is an exciting, ever-evolving process, so watch this space!
On our Northwood Group Facebook page, you will find our blogs hot off the press as they are posted on Wednesdays between 10h30 and 11h00. Please pass these on to interested parties, as long as you acknowledge us in the credits.
Here you will also find pre-warnings on radio broadcasts Nico will be involved in and the topics of such discussions. NFS also shares information on speaking engagements according to themes, forums and how you can get involved in these.
If you like what you see, don’t forget to like our page and feel free to leave a comment!
As mentioned, these are posted weekly on Wednesday mornings on Facebook. They are posted via RSS Feeds on Thursdays. You can always go to the Webpage and sign up for the monthly omnibus edition. This will give you access to our weekly blogs accompanied by a newsletter.

Hi, my name is Jeffrey, and I will be your Financial Adviser
If this is your first meeting with Jeffrey, he will want to go through your existing policies. Jeffrey is a thorough man, as he should be! ‘
Oh my, he does know his stuff…’ you may think, as he points out possible changes that could save you money.
He deftly points out dangers to the security of your Golden Years you never saw before. Oh, but what if you fall ill with a dreadful disease? Alternatively, fall, unable to get up again? What will happen to you then? In these uncertain times, do you REALLY have job security? How will you make sure that your income is secure so that you can keep paying for your son’s braces?

There is a plumber in Cape Town who drums up business with the words ‘
we repair what your husband has tried to fix’ as the tag line on his vehicles. I am sure he does quite well!
Whereas needing a little help from a (paid) friend from time to time is not the sole prerogative of the male species (no matter what your wife tells you), these examples point to a curious part of the human condition: falling for the seduction of saving a buck!

South Africans love their meat! We consume much more significant amounts of it compared to our European and Asian counterparts. Luckily for us, meat is a fair bit cheaper in South Africa than in other parts of the world.
After a recent shopping expedition, I decided to see what my rights were according to the Consumer Protection Act when the price displayed on the shelf is different to what is rung up at the till.
