What’s the best piece of advice you have ever been given and how might this apply to your role here at BFSG?
“Do what makes you happy”. Every single day I talk with folks who have worked their entire lives and are in a great financial position to retire. However, they have no clue what they’re going to do with the next chapter of their lives. Having a vision or purpose for retirement is just as important as the financial side when planning for retirement. Simply asking the question “what makes you happy?” is one of the most important questions I can ask as an advisor.
