THE JD ADVISORS PERSONAL FINANCE GUIDE
So much of your financial success revolves around behavior. As a coach, my duty is to nudge my clients away from making poor financial decisions and and to ensure that they have a line-of-sight on objectives. The purpose of this book is to address real-world financial planning considerations that affect many in the legal profession, to propose strategies that can offer a starting point for an individualized consultation with your advisor, or to implore you to consider working with one that understands your unique concerns.
Hope is a slogan, not a strategy. I meet with prospects frequently who hope that their stock picks go up, that their rental properties cashflow soon, or that they don’t have a significant disruption of income. There needs to be a game plan. The way I see it, everyone has a financial plan; it’s either based on honest discovery of financial health and quantifiable outcomes, or flimsy wishful thinking.
The questions you need to ask yourself are: “Where am I financially? Where does my family want to go? And do I have the knowledge, time, technology, and enjoyment to take on the critical task of managing my personal finances?”
