Pinch of Salt

Please remember one thing about financial advice.

"Don't take it personally, just take it seriously"

We've seen people arrive at the clubhouse, listen to our advice and become uncomfortable. It's a familiar sight here and at many financial seminars we've attended, throngs of people who listen, smile, but never act on the advice.

On a more personal basis, I've talked to people at work, about how to save money, and suddenly an invisible shield is thrown up, the perception appears to be that I was having a go, being critical of a chosen lifestyle.

Or they think I'm a nutter....

Well, they could be right about that one, but, advice is just that, it's never an attack on your choices, it's just words and information, it could be right, wrong or misguided.

But, you should listen.

Seriously.
