Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.financialfinesse.com/2013/02/21/whats-probably-missing-from-your-financial-plan/ Quotes to ponder: "Too often, people just have whatever their employer provides to them, which is usually equal to their salary." "The problem isn’t that people don’t know the importance of life insurance or can’t afford it. The problem is that it’s too easy to procrastinate." "One of the biggest investment mistakes I see is having too much in company stock."
