Nope, Mastery Is Not a Requirement for Happiness and Fulfillment

Day 8: The New York Times financial columnist did what?

         I often read financial advice articles and books to pick up tips and share.          Sometimes things just jump off the page.           For example financial advice columnist Carl Richards, famous as the Sketch Guy in The New York Times, admits in his new book that he lost his house during the financial crisis.           “I’m a financial advisor. I get paid to help people make smart financial choices. I should have known that we couldn’t afford a house that cost almost twice what we’d originally set out to spend,” wrote Carl Richards in his book, “The One-Page Financial Plan.”           On the one hand, Richards’ admission is a writer’s technique to gain empathy from readers, to say he’s just as capable of making mistakes and here’s how the reader can avoid making the same error.           The problem is every good financial analyst knows how to give you a cushion to avoid bad things -- and losing your house is one of the most horrible financial events to experience.            Reading this book is like taking a gun safety course from an expert who had just shot himself in the foot. Your confidence in his advice plummets.          This is Day 8 of The C-Route's Map to Financial Happiness in 365 Days. Sundays “c” Counsel, or how to spot good advice. Mondays “c” Careers.
