Question:
I've been following several Facebook pages, You-Tube Channels and your Newsletter - I feel like I'm swimming in a big pond, but not sure which direction I should go to get to shore. Any suggestions that will point me in the right direction?
Answer:
This is an excellent question. I recently listened to a podcast by Carl Richards (Behavior Gap Radio) that was titled "What State Are You In?"
What does that have to do with your question? This may sound self-serving, but sometimes when you feel like there is too much data, that's when you need to seek either a coach or a planner.
When it comes to money, people think they should just "know" what to do, but the problem is your situation is vastly different than anyone elses and it requires some individual diagnostics.
It's great that you are trying to self-educate, but self-diagnosing your financial situation can be just as overwhelming as trying to self-diagnose a medical condition. So, my suggestion to you is to seek some guidance, search for someone that can guide you through all the minutiae; someone that can make sure you are in the "right state."
