Parenting advice I follow:
Always be mindful of what you do and say around your children. They DO pick up most of the things they do and say from you and will repeat or immitate what they learn from you.
Parenting advice I ignore:
"Children should be seen, not heard". In my opinion, this is not a good strategy. I have learned that children are "little people" and they deserve your respect, and need to "heard". Talking with my kids helps me understand them, their needs, and certain behaviors. Talking with my kids also helps me build a stronger bond with them. They understand and know more than you think they do.
Favorite activity with my kids:
Friday family nights. We order take out, watch movies, and play games.

I help middle class American families address critical financial issues and resolve them. I love it when I can help someone put a sound financial plan in place to protect themselves and their family.
Worst thing about my job:
Getting people to understand the importance and priority of financial planning. People never plan to fail but, fail to plan.
