Here’s the last principle in our series on how your finances are like your lingerie. BIG HINT: it’s the most important one! Read on for the goods.
Principle 4: You deserve a personalized fit.
You really do. Maybe you picked out that first “grown-up” bra on your own, peeked over your shoulder in the fitting room, decided it was a “good enough” fit, then plunked it down on the counter and paid. But every woman I have ever known who has been through the professional bra-fitting experience comes out a changed woman. Their clothes fit better. They stand up straighter. Their…assets are optimized.
How well your investments fit your life and how well they perform for you deserves at least the same level of care and attention as the fit and feel of your bra. And here is secret number four: getting that fit right can make a whole heckuva difference in how well you are set up to handle what life throws at you.
If you aren’t confident about how to judge how well your investments fit, consider working with someone who knows - someone who can cast a professional eye over your assets, help you understand your options, and suggest alternatives to empower you in achieving your own individual goals.
In future posts, we will explore how to find and work with a financial advisor, how various kinds of investments work, and more. But for now, pull up a chair, grab your glass of wine, and breathe: you’ve got four new secrets to share.
