Have you ever wondered why people play the lottery?
​
Consciously we all know the odds of winning are astronomically NOT in our favor…
​
But yet, when the jackpot crawls high enough, even the most logical of people are throwing a few dollars in the pot.
​
We buy ourselves the fantasy of living like the 1% – at least until the numbers are drawn.
​
Most interestingly?
​
The MEGA JACKPOT winners tend to go broke within a matter of years.
​
Why?
​
At the end of the day, it’s a lack of planning.
​
It’s seeing a big balance in the bank and spending without much thought to what will happen to that balance in the future.
​
You see the same behavior when people go shopping for a financial advisor.
They’re focused on seeing a BIG number – without a lot of thought about what it takes to get it there, or stay there.
​
They’re hoping that THIS guy across the desk will be their own winning lottery ticket.
​
And unfortunately, just like the lottery, it doesn’t work that way.
​
Financial advisors can’t predict the stock market (no one can) – and they can’t make magic happen.
​
But…
​
They can help their clients approach their financial future with unwavering logic and a sound plan.
​
And that’s exactly what I do for my clients.
​
There’s no stock picking, no wand waving, and definitely no lottery tickets on my desk.
