Dear Paul,I'm a divorced, single father, age 43, with two daughters (16 and 12 years). Shared custody is 50:50. My current residence is in the Riverina, worth about $1,050,000 (mortgage $384,000), and I recently purchased an investment property in a nearby town, worth around $400,000 (mortgage $350,000). I used equity in my Riverina residence to purchase the investment property (deceased estate) and rent it for $420 a week.

Asset allocation plays a critical role in growing personal wealth. We all dream of picking 'the next big investment' that fast-tracks our wealth. In reality though, these investments rarely come along. Fortunately, building personal wealth doesn't have to rely on finding the 'needle in the haystack' or next red hot investment. Research shows that asset allocation - how your wealth is spread across a range of investments - goes a long way to shaping the income and lifestyle you achieve.

Private credit funds are taking the investment world by storm, so it's important to have a clear picture of how your money is invested. 'Private credit' allows retail investors to tap into the non-bank lending market. It's an asset class that can add diversity to your portfolio, with the potential for regular income and healthy returns that aren't linked to equity markets. Not surprisingly, investors have wasted no time embracing private credit.

It wasn't so long ago that Australian investors were faced with a slim choice of options. Cash, bonds and shares formed the bulk of offerings for everyday Australian investors. Not anymore though. The investment landscape is shifting rapidly, and it is being driven by private capital markets.

The civil registration of marriages in Scotland began in January 1855. As with birth and death records, two copies of marriage registers were created by local registrars. One was retained in the local registration district, while the other was transferred to the General Register Office in Edinburgh, now part of the National Records of Scotland. Boys as young as 14 and girls as young as 12 could wed until 1929, when the age for both increased to 16, still the case today.
