My name's Jason. I didn't really have any financial advice until probably about 46, 47. I came into some money via an inheritance. I think when I originally received the inheritance, it obviously came at not a good time, you know, you've lost your nearest and dearest. So I wanted someone who was an expert in that field to handle the money for me. So I looked around and basically went with who I felt was most suitable to meet my needs and who I felt was most transparent and had my interests at heart. And it just made the process so much easier because I didn't have to worry about what would I do with the money. I'm not one of these people that wants to take risks. There was never any pressure put on me by the advisor and they took me through all the options and they set the risk level where I was comfortable. If you like the rapport that you've built up with your advisor, you go to bed at night and you sleep easy because you feel you're in good hands. If someone was in a similar position to what I was in, I think it would be very easy just to forget about the money. You probably wouldn't be in the right frame of mind to look at this. Family is one of the most important things. They're the people that are around you. And I just like to think that at some point I can provide for them in the same way that my parents provided for me.
