We all know that it\u2019s important to be thankful for the things in life that we have \u2013 family, friends, health, memories, etc. But, especially with the holidays right around the corner, how often do we feel satisfied from just what we have? Do we ever really get enough out of life to the point where we feel truly content? Some people are constantly (sometimes blindly) pushing toward more when it may ultimately be better for these people to give rather than to receive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not saying you shouldn\u2019t work harder and\/or smarter for what you really want in life. It\u2019s important to have a purpose to get out of bed in the morning; accomplishments are important. But if it\u2019s material possessions that you\u2019re all about, you\u2019re probably going to live a shorter life than those who value people over things. I know, hard to believe a financial advisor (remember, I am a fiduciary<\/a><\/strong>) would be telling you such crazy things!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What I\u2019m saying is, instead of worrying if you have enough, think about the people who don\u2019t have enough and find a way to help; do something that\u2019ll bring a smile to a needy person\u2019s face. After all the disasters we\u2019ve recently seen \u2013 hurricanes, wildfires, mass shootings, etc. \u2013 it should make you think about how lucky you are to have important people in your life. It should also make you stop and reflect on what you can do to help your fellow human being. After all, we\u2019d want someone to be kind to us if we were in desperate need of help.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The main point is, treat others as you\u2019d like to be treated. Decide to give your time, possessions, money, etc. to those in need. If you didn\u2019t think it was important in the past, that\u2019s OK, but decide to turn over a new leaf this holiday season. Volunteer, donate, help make someone\u2019s day brighter. You might even get a break on your annual income tax return for being charitable, depending on what happens with the current tax laws. And chances are, that person you helped will sincerely thank you. Is there any better feeling than that? You\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you find an experienced financial advisor who tells clients it\u2019s important to be charitable, works for an RIA firm, earns his\/her money from fees and not<\/em> commissions, believes in having an abundance of investment choices for clients, and has the heart and demeanor of a teacher and not<\/em> a salesman, chances are you\u2019ve found the person to provide you financial advice and help you prepare and plan for your financial goals<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
