I met recently with a well known and high regarded physician.
We agreed that our jobs could be described similarly. His job is to help his patients to achieve and maintain good physical health. My job is to help my clients to achieve and maintain good financial health.
I asked the doc to write down the 3 most important things that can lead to financial security. I agreed to write mine too. Then we would swap lists and discuss them. Here are our lists.
Doc
1. invest wisely
2. save money
3. no divorce
Me
1. rich parents
2. great job which I loved
3. job protection insurance
4. savings
I kidded the physician that I cheated -- listed 4 instead of 3 things. I did this because I thought that most professional people would not list "rich parents." Professionals are independent minded. Also most people aren't fortunate enough to have as parents somebody that will leave them a large inheritance. He agreed.
Do you agree or disagree with the lists above? Take a minute to give your opinion.
