We are quickly reminded that these old friends, colleagues and distant family from far-off shores have opinions that challenge our own, and they\u2019re all too willing to offer unsolicited advice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these voices can be exhausting &#8211; especially if we\u2019re already feeling a little burnt out or overwhelmed with what we feel we still need to accomplish. This is okay &#8211; we don\u2019t have to take their advice too seriously, especially when it comes to managing our money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can choose to stick to listening to the voice of your trusted financial adviser and wealth management team. Actually, this is the best choice! When managing our finances, listening to too many voices can be treacherous to our financial plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s like when you\u2019re buying a car; the more people you speak to, the more confused you\u2019ll become. The same is true of your finances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working together, we want to create and follow a plan that helps you avoid common financial planning and investment mistakes in our relationship. This doesn\u2019t happen once a year at a lunch party where the financial conversations tend to be rather superficial. This happens regularly and only after deeper conversations around meaning and purpose have been explored and brought into context by the money that you have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the high-level principles to keep in mind include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; Invest with a financial plan in place, don\u2019t run an ad-hoc strategy<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; Invest in the correct products for your plan<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; Always remember the effects of inflation<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; Avoid spending your retirement savings when changing jobs<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; Let your emotions subside, then decide<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So &#8211; what voices will you be listening to? When someone has skills, experience and qualifications that can help you AND has spent time understanding your needs and helping you put a plan in place that reflects your goals and risk appetite &#8211; you listen to their voice.
