That’s what we'll do today with some of these great quotes and hopefully provide you with a little real-world guidance you can apply to your own life today.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

• How financial planning doesn’t always go just like the books tell you it will.
• There is always something new to learn and something to improve on.
• How to adapt to the current realities of the market (at any point in time).
