Here&#8217;s a preview of what Maili had to say:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>What was your first money lesson?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I was six years old, my dad started giving me an allowance of $1 a week. I was so excited to earn money and remember offering to do anything I could as a chore including dishes, laundry and watering the plants. I put the money in a children\u2019s bank account, and each transaction was recorded in a paper banking booklet. Then, when I filled the book with deposits, the bank would give me a certificate worth $5. It was a positive reinforcement that taught me the importance of saving and delayed gratification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it influence your money habits as a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It made me think about how to save the most money I could as a child while still doing well in school. I also played piano from a young age, and when I turned 13, I decided to teach piano to the kids in my neighbourhood. I took a course on how to teach kids about music and charged my clients $30 an hour. It was much less than what my parents paid for my lessons but a lot more than I could earn doing chores around the house. I learned about working smarter, not just harder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>What\u2019s the hardest investment advice to follow?<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t try to outguess the market. Stay invested and trust the process. Investing is like surfing. The waves are unpredictable and uncontrollable. You need to let go of trying to control the waves and instead, identify patterns, respect the flow of the water and roll with it.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>What\u2019s the job you thought you wanted growing up?<\/strong>\u00a0I wanted to be a neurosurgeon. I love science and solving problems under pressure. I wanted to be the person people could count on to do the most difficult job when lives were on the line. My dad, an investment advisor, encouraged me to think about a career in business. Being an advisor includes some aspects that attracted me to being a surgeon including handling complex situations with a lot of data, staying focused during chaotic situations [the markets] and making good decisions under pressure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>If you have any questions about how this relates to you or your investment portfolio and financial plan, please give us a call at <\/i><a href=\"tel:7786552410\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>778 655 2410<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0or email us at\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"mailto:thewonggroup@wellington-altus.ca\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>thewonggroup@<\/i><\/span><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/wellington-altus.ca\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>wellington-altus.ca<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sincerely,<br \/>\n<b>Maili Wong<\/b>, CFA, CFP, FEA<br \/>\nSenior Portfolio Manager &amp; Senior Wealth Advisor<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wellington-Altus Private Wealth Inc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Board Director<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wellington-Altus Financial Inc.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Maili Wong is a senior portfolio manager and senior wealth advisor at The Wong Group at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, and the Amazon best-selling <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>author of \u2018Smart Risk\u2019.
