In the book, The Number, author Lee Eisenberg features these sarcastic “rules of investing” that fabulously illustrate these common investor pitfalls:

I’ve had a rash of newlyweds coming into my office lately and having just tied the proverbial knot a few months back myself, the subject of money and nuptials has been coming up a lot.

Living in Denver, and being a dedicated Bronco fan, I took note last week when I heard that 319-pound NFL lineman John Moffitt didn’t report to practice. My first instinct was to wonder whether the move was a negotiating tactic for a better contract, as so often is the case.

One of the best lessons I learned about financial planning was well before I even became an advisor. It was during my short time as a realtor, right out of college.
