Show Notes

Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel sit down to answer an age-old question: Would I Be Burning Money to Hire a Financial Planner? What do all those letters after their names mean? What do they do that I couldn't do for myself? Are they jacking up the prices of my investments to put money in their own pockets? And how might I find out?? They discuss all this and are up front about the fact that NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS A FINANCIAL PLANNER and some tips and watch-outs in this fraught arena. Have questions about anything... email us!
