I’ve spent years helping clients see and avoid these common money mistakes. We all make them, but the key is to learn from each mistake and solve the problems. Working with a financial advisor can help you avoid these issues, make a plan for the future, and give you the confidence to make good financial decisions.
I had this amazing blog on ROTH IRAs almost completed and a couple of things happened. First, the Summer Olympic Games in Paris started; and second, there was a slight stock market correction that had been percolating since mid-July. I LOVE the Olympics.
