Getting a good job is the

financial planner?

I’ve met with financial planners in the past and what they did was shop for an expensive mutual funds that paid them the max, 5.6% off the top and gave me a pityfull 8% barely above the s&p. All work could have taken less than a half hour. They were guaranteed their chunk, I wasn’t. I fired them within a month and learned how to invest myself and made double and sometimes triple on basic investments, saving tons of fees on ETF’s. I agree they are mostly salesmen working for themselves, not you. Finance isn’t rocket science.

HIRING GOOD ADVICE IS NOT FREE — and you will benefit longter

To all the negative comments about FINANCIAL ADVISORS OR PLANNERS or any kind of fees being charged for advice.

I was in Real Estate for 12 years and had clients that belly ache about commissions always, those you can never make happy with whatever you do (you know the type—cheapoo’s) They never buy the good stuff, but wants the highest returns and belly aches about their house when they move in. Oh they also always KNEW MORE than you the professional, who studied for years that profession.

But, I also had wonderful clients that understood TRUST and LISTENED. Because if I was not there TO GUIDE THEM they would not be as far as they are today making money. That is VALUE friend if you never seen it -it’s called ADVICE. They would be in crap up to the knees without a professional on their side today.

So going it alone and reading crappy internet comments is not a smart approach. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL FOR ADVICE. Choose the cheapoo way, and keep reading crap on the internet YES! THEY KNOW BETTER THAN PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS. you are on your own and GOOD LUCK!

eg: ($350. is charged by a property home inspectors ) Do you use a Home inspector? Why not do it yourself and then blame no one for the crappy house you bought one of the largest investments in your life. What about your financial investment. I wonder how you feel about your hard worked funds..You have seen DO-IT-YOURSELF- so called contractors..is it comparable to a PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORE. Get real.

So in short, GOOD ADVICE OF ANY KIND IS NOT FREE, and if it is. it’s NO GOOD. I hope whatever it is that you do for a living you charge a fee to keep you in that job and people will count on you as a professional knowing you do charge to do a good job. That’s just common sense thinking. Get you head out of the clouds be smart hire a Professional.

Life has GUIDES of all kinds for a reason TRUST ONE TO GUIDE YOU — You need a good FINACIAL PLANNER ALWAYS, and yes it will cost you, FOR GOOD ADVICE, and because it can be complex to keep up with current trends. That’s how life works.

Let’s face it, get serious about your LONG TERM FINICIAL PLANS my friend and stop reading internet cheapoo’s comments.

Greetings FUTURE INVESTORS, FIND A GOOD ADVISOR
