Quotes to ponder:

"Discuss your earliest financial memories, your fears about money, your personal definition of financial security. This is a judgment-free zone and 100% honesty is essential."

"Having this account in place is one of the foundations of financial security."

"A financial plan is just that: a plan. In order to make sure you're staying on plan, it's important to revisit once a year or so to measure progress, celebrate successes and adjust for changes."
