4. How Did We Get From Proofreading to Morningstar? With Christine Benz

In this episode of "How Did We Get Here?", we chat with Christine Benz, an expert in retirement and investment planning. Christine shares her unique career journey, starting from proofreading medical journals to building a long career at Morningstar. We explore how her dedication and curiosity led her from being a copy editor to a mutual fund analyst, and eventually, to managing a team.

Christine also talks about how career changes can affect retirement savings and the importance of financial planning during these transitions. We discuss how different life experiences shape our financial decisions and why there's no single "normal" career path. Plus, we touch on how taking risks, like in the recent meme stock craze, plays a role in career growth. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in understanding how careers can evolve and the role of financial planning along the way.
