You’re at the airport, ready to board an airplane to your dream destination. As you board, a moment occurs that most people pay little attention to.
The second you step onto the plane, you have two options: you can go left and enter the cockpit or go right into the cabin with the other passengers. The choice probably seems like a no-brainer – you turn right and take your seat in the cabin.
So why do you do this without thinking? Because you trust the pilot. You know they’re trained to fly the plane, handle unexpected turbulence, and land the plane safely at your destination. What if I told you the same principles apply to your retirement planning? When it comes to creating the ideal retirement plan, you shouldn’t try to plot out your financial future alone, especially with limited experience. Just as you trust the pilot of an airplane, you should trust a financial advisor to guide you to your destination: retirement.
You may be thinking, “Hey! I just read a whole book about retirement planning – I know a thing or two.” While the knowledge in the books you read can certainly be valuable, letting that be your only source of information would be like reading a flight manual and calling yourself a pilot. Understanding theory only gets you so far; you must know how to handle real-life challenges. This can only come with years of experience.
Famous motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said, “Some of us learn from other people’s mistakes, and the rest of us have to be other people.” You deserve to get your plan right the first time, so let our firm be your pilot to your dream retirement destination.
