“A fullness of life involves having an answer for those darkest of times.”
I met up with Wakefield Hare, CFP – founder of Greater Than Financial, LLC to get his perspective on finances, managing risk, and living life to its fullest.
We have no idea what will be over the crest of the next hill or around the ensuing bend. The decisions you make today will effect your tomorrow. The purpose of buying an umbrella is for the rainy day. Allowing you to live life to its fullest without worrying about future storms.
“Every conversation about money is really a conversation about what’s important to you.”
