Financial Planning with Charles Barkley
Basketball legend Charles Barkley, known for his larger-than-life personality and memorable quotes, has left us with plenty of moments that make us laugh or scratch our heads. Although Barkley had a successful playing career, he is perhaps better known for his off-the-court antics in the media world since his playing days have ended. In this episode of Retire With Freedom, Tad and Toni break down some of his best quotes and how they apply to the financial world.
For instance, Barkley’s saying, “I’m never as good or as bad as any one single performance,” is a great example of how market returns should be viewed over the long term. Similarly, his remark, “Just because you watch Grey’s Anatomy doesn’t mean you can do the operation,” perfectly reflects the benefits of working with an advisor rather than relying solely on a broker who may not provide comprehensive retirement planning.
There’s a lot of fun and a lot of insight on this episode of Retire With Freedom, so tune in!
Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:
- “I know I’m never as good or as bad as any one single performance. I’ve never believed in my critics or my worshippers.”
- "When you're rich and famous, the people around you rarely disagree with you about anything, because they want you to stay around and pick up the check.”
- “Just because you watch Grey’s Anatomy doesn’t mean that you can do the operation.”
Key Takeaway
“Most people's broker or banker don't actually know what's going on in their lives.”
