One of the most important aspects of achieving our financial goals is having a clear vision of what you want to accomplish. And just like a travel journey, without a clear goal, it is easy to get distracted, lose motivation, and make poor decisions.

In this episode, Peter Raskin uses traveling as a metaphor for goal setting and financial planning. He emphasizes the importance of setting clear financial goals and developing unique strategies for each goal. Additionally, he explains the importance of diversifying investments across different sectors to manage market risk and the role of a financial planner when navigating the financial journey.
