It’s human nature to avoid what doesn’t interest us. But consider the price we pay by ignoring the critical issue of wealth management. I repeatedly urge consumers to see this issue in a new light. If we have financial advisors taking the tedium out of managing our finances, acting as intermediaries, simply explaining the technical jargon, translating the corporate- and government-speak, we can concentrate on enjoying the improvement in our personal and family balance sheets.
Understand that people can’t be masters of all trades. It’s impossible. That’s why we have myriad specialists we can avail ourselves of to make our lives better. Financial advisors are among them. They are part of our arsenal of specialists who have dedicated their careers to improving our lives—giving us peace of mind in the bargain.
