“I love helping people understand how they can manage their money – and spend their money – in a way that will make them happier. I loved running my financial planning firm for over twenty years, but I could only work with a limited number of clients. After retiring (from working directly with clients) in late 2021, I have been writing, speaking with groups and at conferences, and working with the media in an effort to help far more people. This is my way of ‘giving back’ for a very successful and personally rewarding financial career.”
