Thank you for this insight. In my former field as a financial planner, I would often run into this type of logic with my business and personal clients. Often, the bright shiny object would just look so great…so much so that many would defy logic and reason and pursue what appeared to be a “great deal” before really looking at all the angles. I was often left with “fixing” the problem long after the damage was done. Had they either consulted with me first, that was what they were paying me for to begin with, or followed my advice, again, they paid for it, they would have avoided the pitfall to begin with.

In times of economic challenges, it’s so easy to try and find the quick fix. And like your friend in the article, taking the time to research and do your due diligence on a matter, will have huge rewards in the end.

Thanks again for sharing.
