Being Smart with $$ -- How Much Do You Pay for Financial Advice?


You pay $2500 to a lawyer for an estate plan.

You pay $500 to an accountant for tax preparation.

You pay $1,000 to your insurance agent for term life insurance.

Why are you paying $10,000 every year to a financial advisor who likely spends less time helping you than some of the others above?

Instead, consider an hourly, fee-based financial advisor who gets paid when they work with you and not when they don’t.  And ask your advisor if they receive commissions or incentive payments from their company for recommending certain investments.  Independent, hourly, fee-based advisors don’t.
