Welcome to my World
This should probably be a mission statement of some kind:
- What are my goals with regards to the site.
- What you should expect of me.
- What kind of content will you see.
I would rather just let the site evolve. As my readership grows, the Impersonal Finance community will dictate where this blog goes. I have a general idea of what I want to accomplish and where I want to take you. There is a reason I named this site “Impersonal Finance”. It is easy to understand that people will naturally take their finances, and more specifically their assets and retirement goals, personally.
People should break things down more objectively. Learn to question everything and everyone. There are so many “experts” and “personalities” on the internet or television or in newspapers and magazines with conflicting opinions on all things financial, that it’s nearly impossible to discern what is the really good advice from the information that belongs on the trash heap, and not anywhere near your own financial plan. Finances should be looked at objectively and impersonally and only then can you really start to dissect your own situation and accomplish the goals you need to accomplish.
I will be your fearless leader, pointing you in the direction of those who’s financial expertise is worth emulating and following. At the same time, it is my obligation to take those to task who offer platitudes and cookie cutter advice, without listening to the individual.
My mantra is as follows: there is no single solution, product or recommendation that works for everyone. Finances should never be seen in a vacuum. No advisor should ever say, “I hate X” or “I love Y”. Anyone who does this is doing a disservice to the recipient of that information.
I also plan on having some fun with this site. All work and no play…well you know how it goes. Talking finances can be immensely entertaining, but so can life in general. That is why this site will feature other things that consume my life, like sports, television and movies, travelling and anything else that I feel like writing about.
This is all new to me. My hope is that you will learn from me and I from you, and together we can enjoy this journey together.
Thanks in advance,
The Expert
