What would be your own Ideal Practice?
Only engi-nerds...er I mean engineers. Most people hate em, we love em. They ask good questions and once you can answer them, they are loyal clients.
Plus they have mmmmmmmoney.
I enjoy working with the 40-50 year old working clients. Obviously they have to have inherited or changed jobs after saving up a bunch in their 401k. Unfortuanately it takes many more of them than the average client. I also like hearing the words, “I trust you,” so engineers are not my favorites.

$$$? engineers are the ultimate middle class worker
How about a 70 million dollar book of C share annuities or L share annuites that are now paying trails. I know a guy that gets $500,000/yr on annuity trails. Now that is an easy book to run.

Clearly, you've only met mid-level engineers.

Oil engineers? Middle class? All of ours (at least for local demographics are upper middle to upper class) have at least $600k under management, most have upwards of $800k in 401k rollover accounts. Not to mention funds in personal accounts.
Is that not a sizeable account? I'm not being snide - but if it isn't then it is for our area. ??? These guys are so tight they squeek.
Philo....would take the most anal enginerd over a Dr. or surgeon ANY day of the week.
Had alot of local Dr.s get caught up the Xealan thing.
My ideal practice would be 50 billion dollars under management and have jennifer anniston cook me eggs every morning while jamie pressly rubs my back.

For some reason, docs all think they're deities, unlike engineers who really are!

Lots and lots of widows and divorcess who took the ex-husband to the woodshed. If they’re MILFs, even better.
