Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful day spent with family, friends, and great food.
For me, Thanksgiving is a time for reflecting on all that we have to be thankful for. It occurred to me the other day that I have never published a blog post to share exactly what I am thankful for in my role as an individual company 401(k) retirement plan participant advisor.
First, I’m thankful I have a job that enables me to support my family and pursue my passions. I’m thankful my job is my passion. Not everyone enjoys going to work every day. Not everyone has the opportunity to do what they love. But I do, and I’ll never stop being grateful for it.
Second, I am thankful for modern technology causes as many problems as it solves, in my case, it has enabled me to help more people better – and faster! The fact that I can speak with you over the phone, send you an email or monitor your investments with just the push of a button is amazing. I am sure you have read that there’s more power in my cell phone than in the spacecraft that took Neil Armstrong to the moon – and that power is something I’ve come to rely on every day.
Last, I am thankful for my clients. I’m thankful to work with the highest level of professionals in all walks of life. I am very lucky to work with clients of the highest morals and character.
I have been an investment advisor for over 34 years. I know from past experience that there are lots of people in this world I would not want to work with. But when I look through my list of clients, I’m staggered. I have the privilege of serving some of the smartest, kindest, most decent human beings anyone has ever met.
People like you are why I do what I do. You’re the reason I never hit the snooze button. The reason I’m happy to burn the midnight oil. There aren’t words to express how thankful I am for your business. For your trust. For your kindness. For you.
I’m thankful to be your financial advisor.
On behalf of all of us here at Lager & Company, Inc., I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
