On the Value of Financial Planning

"I was recently talking with someone who had emailed me with a question on a video I had done about retirement planning. He was an engineer and he had crunched his numbers 15 years ago very methodically. He tried to look at every corner and in doing so, he swore to me that it helped them retire at a very early age.  But not everybody has to be an engineer to do financial planning. I think a formal financial plan could bring to light flaws that somebody might not have been thinking about while there's still time to address them. Having a formal financial plan can provide peace of mind and prevent market fluctuations like the current one we're in...Amelia Earhart said preparation is two thirds of any venture and the same is true for retirement planning."

On Keeping Your Financial Plan Updated

"In talking with clients over the years, I think a good way to drive yourself a little crazy is checking the markets every day and your portfolios. So a financial plan could help take your mind off of those day-to-day moves. And it's not just enough to have a plan. You really want to change the plan and monitor it as time goes on. Your life circumstances are going to change and the plan really needs to change along with that."
