The art of paying attention

The art of paying attention

Do you use tap to pay when you’re shopping? Studies have found that contactless payments may leave us out of touch with our spending. That could be a problem.

Paying attention to your financial strategy is important in today's fast-paced and digitally driven world. A well-thought-out strategy is a roadmap to achieving your short-term and long-term money goals and gives you a sense of direction and control over your financial future.

Michael Mouboussin, the Head of Consilient Research at Counterpoint Global, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, has a great quote about concentrating on your spending, saving, and investing. “We have no control over outcomes, but we can control the process. Of course, outcomes matter, but by focusing our attention on the process, we maximize our chances of good outcomes.”

We don’t know where the markets and economy will go next, but if you focus on where your money is going, you have a better chance of achieving your goals.

What are you paying attention to lately? How can I help you direct your efforts? Reach out, and let’s talk.
