Today I had a conversation with a New York client and I had to explain to him that just because he has the financial reserves (savings) that does not mean that he should be buying everything simply because he can afford it.

“Am I scaring people with my economic updates?” Is a question that I have to seriously ask myself. If I am, it’s not my intention.

Stop being distracted and get focused.
