"I'm not exactly sure why I became a financial adviser. I didn't really have that in mind honestly when I started. What I cared about was my finances and I felt like I was a pretty smart person and yet you know my financial life was not going where I wanted it to go. And so I've always been the type of person where if I want to go find out about something I'll literally will go right to the source and figure out how to do that and what evolved in the process of becoming an adviser is that I have found that are a lot of people out there who don't understand money, and don't understand how money works and how taxes work and how to efficiently use our system attain wealth and transfer wealth or use wealth to their advantage. And if I was in a box or a vacuum and I had to say I became a adviser for a specific reason, I became an adviser for my own knowledge but at the end of the day whats evolved is that I've been able to help a lot of people with their finances and if you're feeling frustrated about money even if you don't want to become a financial adviser, my suggestion would be to at least go talk to one."
