What do you like about this subject?  I enjoy the innovative nature of financial planning, and the fact that it is always challenging in everyday life. I enjoy assisting people maximize the growth of their hard-earned savings and investment, minimize their taxes, and enjoy their financial independence for many years to come.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Education is a powerful tool!
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Specializing in fee-based discretionary investment managed (DIM) accounts.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  The key to the financial independence is the LIFETIME planning!
