Do you keep putting your plans to save on the long finger? Are you always waiting for the right time? Well, now is the perfect moment to start saving for something special, for a great future. It’s simple and hassle-free to find the right way to save or invest your money. Here’s how:
Set your goals
What are you planning to save for? Take some time to draw up a ‘wish list’ of the things or experiences you would like to be able to afford. Now prioritise that list – you can’t do everything at once! Perhaps you’d like to buy a new car? Or maybe you’re planning the holiday of a lifetime? Saving for a ‘rainy day’ or your children’s education might be top of your list.
Do the maths
Whatever they are, it’s important to have clear goals to work towards. It’s also key to figure out how much it will cost to turn each goal into a reality. Do some research and find out roughly how much money you’ll need to save up. Perhaps you have a lump sum you wish to invest, that you can combine with your regular contributions.
Plan your budget
The next step is to figure out your monthly budget. You need to decide how much money you’ll put aside each month to help you achieve your goals.
Choose your savings plan
Next, you need to find the right home to grow your savings. We offer a great range of savings and investment products to suit all kinds of savers. We can even create a tailor-made plan to suit your needs. Then all you need to do is add to your savings each month – and soon you’ll be ticking off those wish-list items.

TESTIMONIALS
My initial meeting with Darach was as a Lecturer in LIT who will have less than 40 years- service at retirement. After a completing a review, I had a clear understanding of how my pension worked and how best to optimize it going forward.
I have found Darach to be very friendly, knowledgeable, no way pushy and quite transparent in his recommendations. I would strongly urge you to have that initial consultation. My experience of Honan Financial Services has been a very positive one both personally and financially.
I was looking for alternatives to saving in the bank as there was little to no growth to be had in their savings accounts. Honan FS made it very easy to invest in a multi asset fund which meets my long-term goals. I’d recommend Honan FS to anyone looking for advice on any aspect of their financial planning.
When taking out our mortgage we were offered mortgage protection by the bank. After a review with Darach we found a policy which was more comprehensive and better value for money. We were also able to optimize our savings through a regular savers policy which has achieved far better returns than what was on offer with the bank.
At the start of 2021 we both decided to do a health check on our financial status. We both had occupational pensions schemes left from previous employers and we reached out to Darach for assistance and advice on transfer options. Darach was excellent in helping us map out our future financial needs , determining our outlook to risk , providing sound financial advice and discussing best performing options to suit us
Darach dealt on our behalf with the previous pension providers and their associated agencies and the whole process we felt was very professional and a seamless transaction to us. Because of interest rate returns on bank deposits /post office being virtually zero and essentially loosing money on deposit we also seeked advice on alternative investment products for the mid to long term.
We were looking for products that gave a good rate of return and that we could lock away for 10 years plus to help with education funding. Both requirements were met very professionally by Darach and his team. We are both very happy we reached out to Darach . The only regret was we didn’t do this a few years earlier but better late than never.”
Darach has looked after my pension for a number of years and once he setup Honan Financial Services, it was an easy decision to move my pension / financial planning with him. Darach continuously demonstrates a thorough and rigorous approach to customer service and his clients individual’s needs. He is thoroughly professional, exceptionally friendly and the best in the west in my opinion. I would highly recommend him to all.
