“In school, you are given a lesson then a test. In life, you are given a test and then you learn a lesson – and money lessons can be expensive.”
– Peter Lazaroff
This conversation, including a discussion of the biology of fear in investors, is super timely. Peter also talks about the science of happiness from spending and giving – in experiences, memories, and relationships. As we all take this COVID-19 lockdown opportunity to reflect and reprioritize, listen to this one and check in with yourself on the spending and earning and lifestyle needs that will best serve you now and after your peak earning years.
“As someone who helps people make smart money decisions, it’s not all about tax minimization and wealth maximization. Some of it should be – how do I make sure your life is better as a result of working with me?”
– Peter Lazaroff
