  • “When goals are too broad, it’s easy to lose track of them, right? When we don’t set a specific time, then we have no rush.” – Anne-Lyse Wealth

  • “Most people don’t know this, but if you currently have a power of attorney in place – if you were to become, God forbid, incapacitated, that would be invalid. You want to have a durable power of attorney so that if something like that were to happen to you where you wouldn’t be able to make certain decisions for yourself, you have someone designated to do that for you.” – Anne-Lyse Wealth
