April- Planning with Purpose Webinar
Planning is important. Of course, this is something a Financial Planner would say, right? That is fair. But I bet a whole lot of other people, many having gone through the task of sorting through mounds of paperwork, left by a deceased relative or friend would say this too.
Let us face it, there has been an elephant in the room for some time. The looming thought of our temporality being just around the corner is something no one enjoys thinking about.
