Tweetable Quotes:
“You have to know every component of a financial profile. If you only understand the tax part, you’re gonna miss things. If you only understand the investing side, you’re gonna miss things. If you only know insurance, you’re gonna miss things. It’s really about being able to take a holistic and integrated approach and only then can you really get things to where they have to be optimally.” – Bernard Reisz
“The emotion is the catalyst, but let’s analyze [things] with our minds. Because ultimately there’s a technical aspect to it, so we need the emotions to kickstart the process, but then we have to let our minds take over and to assess and analyze choices and make the smartest decisions that we can.” – Bernard Reisz
