    Mark Manson's "Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck"

    I felt the exact same way. By the end of it, I wanted him to pay me for my time spent reading the book.

    Yeah, it was a weird move.. I can't really explain it myself, it's like I had an FTE but the FTE was an action fake.

    Yes! It had everything to do with this. Society sets the bar very low for people like ourselves. Most deaf people are walking among very complacent people. Case in point, if I walked up to any random person and mispronounce a word, chances are they'll let it slide because 'understandably', I'm...

    A sense of purpose. The day I was fired marked the end of my Special Snowflake Syndrome. Until that moment, I was special. I wanted to believe that people had a genuine appreciation for how far I'd come. I believed in the power of the work I did and the value I brought to the table. Hell, I...

    My FTE. I've lurked the forums for long enough so I figured it's high time I posted something.. I joined the forum a month ago or so and introduced myself. Now, dozens of spent notepads later I've come to the conclusion I should probably post something, even if I'm just talking to myself...

    That helps a lot, thanks for that. As I mentioned to @Philip Marlowe earlier this was really all about learning for me. I went in with the mindset that maybe I could learn a thing or two from having an FA (or someone who's smarter than me) on the subject... but as you pointed out - I learned the...

    No worries bud! I thought maybe it was how I presented myself in my OP - it's admittedly a learning experience for me as well. But that's what these forums are for. Please do weigh in anytime if you feel you've got something to offer!

    Hey Philip, Thanks for sharing your perspective, I have to admit - when I first read it.. I needed to go back and read my post to see if perhaps the post gave a different impression than intended but hopefully this response can clarify a few things. First and foremost, nothing about this post...

    Honestly, I think the big question for me right now is do I really need one? If I seem to know their entire mantra and at the age of 28 getting onto the ramp towards the the Fastlane, am only going to attract the franchise advisors is it even worth it at this point? What what point does it...

    This is probably what intimated me the most when I first joined the Forum - I see all these NFL players on the field and I'm just here like this kid who got his first pair of cleats. That's generally why I do a lot more reading than I really do contributing here - sure, I get that starting off...

    Yeah - Bob passed both of those tests. He was fee-based. Maybe that was a mistake but my research had shown that fee-based advisors were the better pick for a guy in my position. In our first session Bob went through this company-provided template on goal-setting and planning for the future. We...

    This exactly! But see, I don't know if I'd believe that this is necessarily always an age issue - you hear the talk about 'risk, balancing, diversifying, etc etc' from advisors of all ages and stages in their career. Sometimes I get the sense that this is literally the language they are...

    You tell me. Age for me wasn't really the issue - it was the mentality he had towards financial management. I'd be all for making friends with Advisors who are younger to see if their mindset fits your own. Then you wouldn't need to worry about them retiring on you.

    I ended my relationship with my financial advisor yesterday. I wanted to share my story as this this whole thing was a real sobering experience for me. And needless to say, I learned a lot of things! If you're thinking about getting yourself one for the first time, I hope you take a couple pages...

    What inspired this post if you don't mind me asking? It seems like you recognize the challenge... Sometimes it's like going to the gym, you don't feel like going til you've walked into the locker room.
