In this video, Ross speaks with David Abel from Vision Dental Wealth about the reality of DIY investing. While some individuals may succeed, most fall into common traps like emotional decision-making, poor timing, and missed tax opportunities.

Using a powerful comparison between financial planning and dental care, David explains why professional expertise matters when it comes to protecting long-term wealth.

They cover:

  • The biggest mistakes DIY investors make
  • Why emotions ruin investment returns
  • The impact of tax planning on wealth
  • Why financial planning is an ongoing process
