Like many college students, Carl Murray had a difficult time deciding what courses to take when he was a student at Clark Atlanta University. It took a familial connection to point him in the right direction.
It was Murray’s aunt who unwittingly helped him discover his passion for finance. “I have an aunt that is in accounting and that was my motivation for getting my accounting degree,” Murray says.
As a partner at Armand Edward Financial, Murray’s objective is to educate individuals on their finances.
“We are a boutique family office and basically what we do is handle the lifestyle and wealth of our clientele. It’s more of a movement geared towards creating financial responsibility,” he says.
With the economy rapidly declining, and the unemployment rate continuing to rise, it is imperative that individuals monitor their spending habits.
“Consistency and savings means a lot. … If you’re living [from] paycheck to paycheck, no matter how much money you’re making, you’re always going to have that stress level and you’re not going to be able to operate at your highest level. I want to create a legacy for my family so that I am able to leave something behind when I’m gone,” he says. –christian johnson
