He asked me some questions regarding my current situations and asked me about my goals and what I would like to take away from speaking to him. Let me tell you, I took a lot of new information and an actual idea of what is the next step I need to take to reach my goals. He was very clear and informative about explaining certain things that I'm not familiar with and made sure I understood the steps I would need to take to be successful in reaching my goals. I know the call was only suppose to be like 5 minutes but I know for sure he had put more time talking to me than that just to make sure I understood everything. He's very helpful, very professional and very knowledgeable. Talking to him was definitely a great push for me to head to the right path.

Generally speaking, discussing the topic of personal finances and money is seen as a crass or dirty…read morething. It's just not done. You're more likely to know someone's sexual orientation these days, than how much they have in their bank account. Money is the last taboo. Our culture and media fills us with ugly, confusing un-truths about money, and there's that age-old cliche, "Money is the root of all evil." And yet, we all want Bling. Ironic. With such negative connotations surrounding us, it's no wonder many Americans struggle to understand their finances, and have difficulty creating (and maintaining) wealth. IMHO, it is easy to place the blame on banks and the wealthy for "robbing" the 99%, but true money management means taking fiscal responsibility, discipline, and a good hard look at yourself, with regards to life goals and planning. It is also about not being afraid. With money being a topic that's so sensitive, I'm pleased to advocate the financial planning services provided to me by David Rae, CFP (Certified Financial Planner). Having grown up myself filled with negative, misleading money messages from my thrifty immigrant parents, I knew, after grad school, I needed help dealing with my finances for the long term. Their attitude was always, "We don't have enough!" While that's a truth in their eyes, it wasn't an attitude I wished to adopt. So I made it a point to understand my finances: understanding how I related to money is one thing (how do you save, spend, borrow, and invest?), but managing my own portfolio is quite another. My stint working in dotcoms, with the company 'going public' on IPO, gave me my first taste of stocks...and the headaches in taxes that came with it. Now a business owner living a full life, I simply do not have the time, the foresight, the training, nor the inclination to be my own financial planner. Best to leave it to the professionals. In this case, David Rae has helped neatly steer my finances, weathering crappy economic recession and hard times, and taking full advantage of current market trends and its opportunities. All while understanding my level of risk-taking, and my future plans. David makes it simple and manageable for me to invest in my future (yes, he will continually ask you for money...TO SAVE) -- and thank God for that, because I know I can't do it by myself! Most Americans are living to 90 years of age. Have you got your finances squared away to anticipate your needs until then? If not, you ought to give David a call. His goal is to shield you from mistakes made from irrational exuberance and emotion. That said, once I signed on, I found myself sleeping easier at night. Recently, David showed me he got me 23% return on investment, in 2 1/2 years! I told my tax preparer http://bit.ly/sQVEdu this news, and she gasped in surprise, saying, "Most people are lucky to get 18% on return! You got 23%?? That's amazing!" David Rae is a keeper! Thank you, David Rae!
