Quote of the Day
"The greater willingness to admit not knowing hurts women on financial literacy tests, but it may make them ideal clients. The willingness to say "I don't know" suggests humility and openness to learning, which can contribute to a good advisor-client relationship."
(Sarah Newcomb and Samantha Lamas)
