Financial Planning: Like Meccano?

Financial planning can feel overwhelming—like staring at a box of metal pieces and bolts from a Meccano set. But just like those childhood projects, it all starts with the first step. This post compares building a financial plan to constructing something incredible with Meccano: start small, gain confidence, and build complexity gradually. Whether you’re tackling debt or planning for retirement, it’s all about starting where you are and committing to build.

The financial chaos of 2009 might have ended on paper, but the aftershocks—and the lessons—still resonate.
