A Few Simple Rules For Money Managers

As a parent the hardest thing to do is not to be a hypocrite. You tell your kids to do one thing – the right thing – but you don’t stick to your own advice. Often the right thing is more difficult than the wrong one. This is very human of us: we want our kids to be better versions of ourselves, and maybe our kids end up making us incrementally better people.
