00:00:12.873 --> 00:00:15.108
I get asked personal financial questions

00:00:15.108 --> 00:00:18.176
often by friends and family,
and for good reason.

00:00:18.376 --> 00:00:20.944
They know I'm a financial advisor.

00:00:20.944 --> 00:00:26.948
The funny thing is, the answer to most of
these questions is usually it depends.

00:00:27.281 --> 00:00:32.317
when it comes to personal finance,
it depends is almost always the honest

00:00:32.317 --> 00:00:33.318
answer.

00:00:33.318 --> 00:00:37.453
That's because financial advice
isn't one size fits all.

00:00:37.787 --> 00:00:40.822
It's shaped by your unique situation.

00:00:40.922 --> 00:00:44.824
Things like your age, income,
lifestyle, and goals.

00:00:45.324 --> 00:00:47.859
Let me give you a few examples.

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:49.893
Retirement savings.

00:00:49.893 --> 00:00:51.461
How much should you save?

00:00:51.461 --> 00:00:54.563
Well,
that depends on when you want to retire.

00:00:54.696 --> 00:00:58.898
The kind of lifestyle you're planning for
and any other income sources

00:00:58.898 --> 00:01:00.432
you may have.

00:01:00.432 --> 00:01:02.367
Buying versus leasing a car.

00:01:02.367 --> 00:01:04.935
This decision
depends on how much you drive.

00:01:04.935 --> 00:01:09.004
How long you plan on keeping the car
and what your financial priorities are.

00:01:10.004 --> 00:01:12.306
Investment strategy.

00:01:12.306 --> 00:01:16.141
Your approach to investing changes
based upon your age,

00:01:16.174 --> 00:01:19.443
your tolerance for risk,
and your investment timeframe.

00:01:19.543 --> 00:01:24.045
Sure, you can Google these questions
and find general advice.

00:01:24.045 --> 00:01:25.579
But here's the thing,

00:01:25.579 --> 00:01:29.782
Google can't tailor recommendations
to fit your financial picture.

00:01:30.215 --> 00:01:33.050
What works for one person might lead

00:01:33.050 --> 00:01:36.052
someone else down the wrong path.

00:01:36.185 --> 00:01:39.187
Personal finance is, well, personal.

00:01:39.554 --> 00:01:41.355
That's why it depends.

00:01:41.355 --> 00:01:43.956
Is often the best answer.

00:01:43.956 --> 00:01:44.857
I'm Will Murphy,

00:01:44.857 --> 00:01:48.492
and it's an honor and privilege
to serve a select group of clients,

00:01:48.725 --> 00:01:53.962
helping them to build, manage and protect
their wealth, balancing emotions

00:01:53.962 --> 00:01:56.963
and feelings with reason and logic

00:01:57.097 --> 00:02:00.098
to improve financial decision making.

00:02:00.165 --> 00:02:00.999
Thanks for watching.
