Things You’ll Learn Along Today’s Journey

In honor of Father’s Day, we talk about things your dad might have said back in the day. Both Sean and Marc are dads, so there’s a lot of experience in this area. How do these dad jokes, sayings, and doings apply to your financial plan? 

If you got hurt, more than likely, mom was the one to go to for some nurturing and a kiss. Dad was the one who brought in humor or distraction from the pain. Are you feeling hurt or anxious about the market these days? Instead of doing something drastic, you might need some tough love to keep going. Long-term, what’s the right plan for what you need vs. a knee-jerk reaction?

Dads tend to use their strength to go for the one big load of grocery bags or carrying the big awkward furniture by themselves. In the market, fluctuations are going to happen, and you’re going to see losses. It’s important to understand how your plan is going to react. Focus on how the strength of the plan is working.

When it comes to navigation, a lot of dads like to find the perfect parking spot. Whether it’s the closest one to the store doors or away from other cars that might leave a door ding, dad’s got a plan in mind for where to park. You might feel inclined to get as much growth as you possibly can with your portfolio, always on the lookout for the best thing. But there are times when this isn’t in your best interest. Make sure you pursue the right thing for your financial future but don’t get caught up in seeking the impossible perfection.

Happy Father’s Day!
