I totally agree. I used a financial advisor for about a year after I retired. However, I also started reading a lot of financial books and magazines on stocks, mutual funds, ETFâs and bonds and listen every morning while walking to stations like CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg. I discovered that I could do as good or better than my advisor while saving a lot of money in fees. Iâve been doing it for about 7 years now and things are going good no regrets!

Financial advisors come and go. At least, that's what I learned over the years. And along the way, I've wondered why I ever used one, especially, after I put the bulk of my investments into index funds with Vanguard. Why did I ever think I needed an advisor? Now, I'm 80 years old - not extremely rich - but have done okay. So, Tae, have you made any videos for us older folks who are mainly focused on preserving what we have?

Three items are missed. 1. Many financial advisors invest your money into mutual funds that have a sales charge adding to oneâs costs. 2. Then when they complete the diversification of investment funds they rarely touch the array of investments, it remains the same under all market conditions. So you keep paying a fee all the time for a one time selection. 3. The expense ratios on these investments are usually higher than index funds.

Investing in low cost ETFs is a good way to idiot proof personal investing, but you are off on several points.
1. Most advisors arenât trying to beat the S&P500. Itâs mathematically impossible to beat the market if you own any bonds or cash. You are paying financial advisors for advice.
2. No financial advisor would charge 1% on $100million. You pay them for advice not to always be up even when the market is down.
3. Most financial advisors invest their clientâs cash in low cost ETFs. The fee financial advisors charge is for advice not to pick stocks.
4. Financial advisors have a legal obligation to be a fiduciary. Theyâre also human beings and donât want to lose money or rip people off.
5. Most people donât have the time or desire to try to become hedge fund managers. Reading a few books will not make you an expert.
Iâm not disagreeing with your points, but thereâs more going on than what youâre describing.

The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?
