Less than a once-off answer, financial planning is like going to gym to build your risk tolerance. Initial conversations are about seeing where you are, and what your goals are. Then you exercise. Lengthening and strengthening your muscles.
As we get older we tend to (sometimes) pick one sport. Kids do everything, and movement is built into their curriculum. Bar the times they are forced to sit on their hands in classrooms that ominously precede office work. Instead of walking down corridors, kids run. Sprinting even if it is just between the toilet, lounge, kitchen, and bedroom. I used to do “Jonty Dives” by running down the passageway and jumping onto my parent’s bed. Kids are always learning.
As we get older we tend to be pickier and get swallowed by narrowing responsibilities. Then when things change, we struggle. Even when adults are fit, it is often in a particular way. With children, the variety maintains options. Like the Greek athletes of old where they did all the events.
Today our athletes specialise. Long-distance runners have short torsos, long legs, and are very light. Swimmers have long torsos. Sports get dominated by particular physiques. In real life, the sport changes. As time moves on, the sport is changing more regularly.
Plan for change.
Ready to Move
