I have been a financial planner for over twenty years. During that time, I have read just about every personal finance book under the sun. Why do I torture myself so? In the early days of my practice, I hosted a call-in radio show in Asheville, NC, called Money Matters. For five years I spent an hour each Saturday morning discussing every financial topic imaginable.
I didn’t want to become boring, so I would read others’ works on personal finance to find new and different ways to explain the same old concepts. Now I just read them for fun. And yes, I just said that out loud. This week at Simple Money don’t miss a thing!
My aim with my financial planning work has always been to simplify things for clients. Making concepts easier to grasp and less scary is the goal. And I want clients to feel like they have a partner along for the ride on their financial road. I want their financial life to be easier because of the work of our firm. Now I have a team of seven other compassionate, awesome human beings who work with me to continue the mission of my firm. If you are curious, you can read more about my firm and me with a simple Google search.

“Villages preserve culture: dress, food and dance are a few examples. As villages grow in population and turn into towns, local cafes make way for large American chains. Handmade leather sandals are discarded for a pair of Western sneakers.
Due to its small size, a village fosters a tight-knit sense of community. Justpeace.org explains the meaning of the African proverb, “It takes a village,” by stating that a sense of community is critical to maintaining a healthy society.
Village members hold a wealth of information regarding their heritage: they know about the ancient traditions, methods of production and the resources of the land. When villages become dispersed or exterminated in times of war, this anthropological knowledge disappears.
Large cities are not as conducive to growing and producing foods such as fruits and vegetables. Villages, on the other hand, usually have ample amounts of land and other resources necessary for growing conditions.” The Importance of Villages by Catherine Capozzi
