Our Targeted Income Grant Scheme (TIGS) offers desperately needed support to millions of business people who have been frozen out of Covid support, but … /

…it represents a beginning not an end. It’s an important first step in the right direction, but by no means delivers parity for those who find themselves unfairly excluded from help in these difficult times.
We will continue to fight for justice for all those who have fallen through the gaps.
A one-off TIGS grant will offer some groups desperately-needed help in the short-term, and allow the Treasury a little time to examine additional proposals in more detail /
If adopted by government, TIGS would be a huge step forward. But people are excluded from help for countless reasons, and we are happy to aid the Treasury in identifying solutions that reach everyone who needs support /
The APPG's proposals are based on the impressive range of expertise and evidence we have been able to draw on from our family of groups, policy advisers and APPG members… /
…and our solutions also meet Treasury qualifications. We believe the TIGS plan should be accepted, opening up opportunities for further dialogue around additional schemes /
We are all frustrated – and, yes, angry – that this process continues to be so drawn-out, and we are painfully aware of how dire the situation is for many of the people we’re championing /
But we have to start winning some battles as we continue to fight for the right of millions of taxpayers to be treated fairly /
That means helping the Treasury to support taxpayers who, through no fault of their own, have been cast aside while millions of others have quite rightly received Government support.
We hope that TIGS will be adopted by government, and we look forward to achieving wins for other excluded groups soon too.

Humans are programmed to think short-term

Evolutionary, thinking short-term makes sense. It helps with survival.

Financial wellness is all about training yourself to develop a long-term mindset

Not easy -- it takes practice

5/ Career

In the beginning, focus on growing your income

Do more than what is expected

Become a lynchpin

Find a career that you ENJOY (<- important!) that also has high-income potential

Start a side hustle (<- important!)
