Advice and opinions

I’ve been listening to lots of financial planners and housing people telling me what we should do with our money. As I don’t have much knowledge, I always think it’s first best to listen to everything. However, it’s almost time to make an informed opinion on a few things, and I’m really not in the mood to do so.

I just talked to my dad, and he gave a completely different opinion on finances (pay debt before investing) and there’s a matter of respecting his opinion while also going my own way.

I perhaps avoid telling people I think they’re wrong or we want to do another way because I don’t want to deal with whatever they have to say in reply. That is perhaps something that is ultimately not good. (I would not want my son to feel he would need to do that, or even have him want to do that.)

But then I feel like I have to put in the work and actually research things well to have an informed opinion, and in my usually sleep deprived state, I sometimes honestly would rather not.

But anyways, it’s getting time for me to do that.
