You are one of the best financial adviser for me. I can understand fully what you are trying to convey. I wonder if this was also from a video 3 years ago ?
Great comments and concept. My pre-retirement carrier = financial planning / superannuation consultancy / wealth creation My husband pre-retirement career = consulting electrical engineering Both are white collar job but what we most spoke about when taking about our jobs was ‘risk management’, ‘risk identification’ and ‘risk mitigation or risk acceptance’. The same applies when we talk to anyone else in their job (be it horticulture, electronic technician, teaching, cabinetmaking, administration, etc). It is the thread runs through everything. Another topic that ran a close 2nd to ‘risk’ was always (and I mean always) ‘the intent of some rule, procedure or approach’. What have you noticed (in your career) about clearly ‘understanding the intend’ on why something is designed the way it is, *before* attempting to offer solutions or change procedures? And, via that lens, how is that transferable to the topic of personal finances, IYO?
I still believe engineers are not normal people lol. Certainly unique content that's for sure. Stereotypically, they are generally more conservative than the average investor despite reviewing historical long-term data and take out more life insurances despite working in cushier jobs than average. This provides an insight into why this is the case.
