Can you do me a favour?
Please list for me your financial goals.
… Go ahead, I’ll wait…
Okay, stop.
Did you feel that?
Even I can feel it.
And what I feel when somebody tells me to list my financial goals is weight on my shoulders. I can feel tension in my neck. I can feel this emotion bubbling up in me, saying: “I don’t know!”
