The classic movie, Forrest Gump, is full of great quotes. We see how some of those quotes can be applied to your finances. From figuring out what to do when life isn’t going just like you thought to learning from past mistakes, there are a lot of takeaways from Forrest.
It’s important to build your financial plan around what you want to do and what your life looks like instead of someone else’s. Reach out to Eric and his team to make sure you are headed in the right direction.
Here are the quotes we dive into and turn into financial advice:
- “Life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”
- “Mama always said, you’ve got to put the past behind you before you can move on.”
- “What’s normal, anyway?”
- “Dying is a part of life, I sure wish it wasn’t.”
