Show Notes:
MAILBAG QUESTION 1: [2:40]
- “How do I find and evaluate a fee-based planner? What questions should I be asking? What are your views on a fee-based relationship with a planner? Most really want an Assets under Management type of relationship. I want to establish a long-term relationship with one. We are a middle-aged frugal couple with good nest egg. My background is in finance and economics. We’ve managed our own with Vanguard for years. I would like second opinions, but I’m not excited to pay based on AUM.”
- Pete: This is on of the reasons why we started “Hey Money.” We are definitely pro-financial advisor, here.
- Damian: Advisors who manage AUM fees, think: “When you do better, we do better.” To be sure you understand, advisors’ time is worth something for the benefits they offer.

HEADLINE SEGMENT: [13:40]
- Why would you hire a financial advisor and then discard the advice they provide you? Maybe this doesn’t work in all circumstances, sure. But in this complicated world of finance and economics, why is it that “nah, I’m good” tends to happen?
