Illusion to Reality - Graham Bridges

Immediately after the world debt crisis was revealed in September 2008, many of the major Banks and other long-standing established financial institutions in the Western world began to fail. It soon became clear that most financial commentators believed that this crisis was THE worst financial event in history and one that was likely to have economic and social consequences far beyond anything anyone could imagine.

As a fully independent authorised UK financial adviser and company director of my own business, I was just at the point of retirement, having spent my whole career in Retail Banking and the Financial Services Industry. I had over 300 personal clients at the time who were not only shattered by the magnitude of this event but who expected me to have all the answers as to why it happened in the first place and what they should do during the panic that followed.
