In this week’s episode, we discuss why we think you do not need a financial planner. We explain the different types of financial planners, why we believe you can do better on your own, and how to get started without one. We also share our personal stories of experiences, and what we’ve learned over the last two decades. In our experience, financial planners cost a lot and that money could instead be invested, you can do it better yourself, you have to put in work either way, there’s value in learning about this stuff, and they’ll likely put their interests before yours.
