But don't tell her I said any of those nice things.

about her at all let's hope she doesn't listen now i first met you when you were prosecuting my assistant mo for fraud and uh it was a tough case for sure she beat it again she beat it again 35 years of defrauding me here and undefeated in the court system she is she is amazing

Now, when you went into the financial planning space, you did something a little bit unusual.

You started, at least on the public facing end of your life, focusing on RESPs.

And your argument is that it's something that touches almost all of our lives.

There is grandparents, parents, whatever.

And that people haven't mastered the nuances.

They're making careless mistakes that are costing them thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars.

Why not put out a course, put out information that can help people navigate these waters in an unbiased fashion?

Did I get that about right?

And how's it going?

You know, it's interesting you said RESPs are often viewed as an afterthought.

And I think that I find that the RESPs themselves, people make them a big part of their financial plan.

What is the afterthought is the specifics of how best to take advantage of them.

The details tend to get completely lost in the shuffle.

In fact, interestingly, even among some of the better financial planners out there.

where I see comprehensive financial plans, even then the RESP often not as addressed with very specific advice on how best to do it, et cetera.

So I think what you're doing makes a lot of sense and you're going to help a lot of people.

There are a lot of careless mistakes out there, no question.

Start with the very basics.
