Best financial facelift shots of 2017

Financial Facelift runs every Saturday in Globe Investor. A long-time favourite with Globe readers, the series features a financial planner giving real people an assessment of their current financial situation, and advice on how to reach their goals. These real people who share their personal financial details remain anonymous, which means taking a picture is challenging. Our photographers are up to the task.
