“Don’t ever forget. Money is a tool. It should never be the goal. Money does not buy happiness, although you can buy time and experiences and achieve some laudable things with money. If your financial plan is too focused on a number, and not enough on what that number is supposed to achieve in your life or the lives of those you care about, refocus.”
Douglas MacGray, Principal and Senior Vice President for Financial Planning at Compass Ion Advisors, from the January 29, 2018 post to his blog “MacGray Matters”
