Every patientnt in the US for the most part is paying a different fee than anyone else. It is a bookkeeping nightmare. Go in to a pharmacy and you might pay a buck or 60 cents to fill a script as I did last week. KISS is the best system and pay our docs the fees they do deserve
The overwhelming majority of these charlatans that call themselves advisors are just that; quacks. If you really cannot buy index funds on your own, do hire a fee based CFP
is a ftia the same as a myga???? if so just like a cd at higher rate but not FDIC insured
nice article about avoiding SORR; something every pre-retiree has to prevent
if you do not want to educate yourself on investing, which is quite easy with one or two great books, a fee based advisor would work just fine
paying an arm fee is overkill and will surely be obsolete in short order
even .3% is 3k per million
Obvious to all is buy and hold till near retirement to avoid sorr at all costs
Timimg is the fools game as are individual stocks History has proven that
