“Really thinking about financial tools as tools, not as the goal. Right? So, you know when you build a home, the goal is to build a home, it’s not to buy tools. But you need to buy tools in order to build a home. And I think when it comes to financial stuff, when it comes to 401Ks and investment accounts, bitcoin and auto insurance, homeowner’s insurance- all of it. They’re all products. They’re all what they consider financial products. And when you have products, recognizing that they in and of themselves are not the plan.”Our guests today are Tom Seeko and CJ Burnett. They are co-founders of Florida Veterinary Advisors and Co-hosts of the Smarter Vet Podcast. They join us on the last episode in our mini-series welcoming the class of 2021 to the veterinary profession. The focus today is finances. What do we need to know when we are just starting out?
