Memorable Quotes:

• “The advice is simply to, “save more”, “spend less” or “work longer”...is directionally helpful, but lacks specifics. I wouldn’t call it a financial plan. A financial plan should be easy to follow and straightforward to implement. A plan should be specific and say if x or y were to happen, then w or z should be the recommended action.“
