Maybe I am old fashioned but I don’t discuss things like that with anyone except my wife. If you get it.. that’s great. If you don’t , keep plugging away. Plus there is a lot of jealousy and envy out there , even amongst family.

How about being an FA and working for nine years to build a book of fee based business and than have circumstances beyond your control affect your business where you are set back 3-4 years in asset gathering and fees. Now that is depressing. Everyday I feel like I am starting over. Ugg

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best).
