My Mother had a wonderful financial advisor but chose to pay no attention to his advice and consequently is now broke. He was a fee only planner and had managed my parents finances flawlessly for twenty years. He did everything he possible could to take control of my mothers spending but no amount of sound advice is going to help if you choose to ignore it! Very frustrating for my family!

@Credit Card Chaser, I agree, the best option is to utilize a fee only planner. That way you know what you are paying up front and you don’t have to question weather or not every reallocation was necessary or if the advisor was just trying to make a quick buck.

@Financial Samurai, You aren’t paying someone to tell you spend less. In most cases you are paying someone to help you understand what investments will help you to best achieve your goals. I know very little about investing and markets so it helps to have that resource, I just wish it wasn’t family.

@Mike Piper, That is the other part, she has never really said if she is actually getting paid off our transactions. I assume she is and I am certain it is commission based since we have never paid her a fee. She also sold us an insurance product I am certain she made a pretty penny on.

I would stick with a fee only planner instead of someone compensated by sales commission. Granted that most insurance products that is just the way it has to be because that is how the products are designed but the person who is doing the overall planning should be compensated with a fee rather than a commission IMO.

I just don’t understand why someone would pay someone to tell you “spend less than you earn.” How difficult is that? I can’t imagine someone can’t get free advice from books/online on asset allocation, budgeting, and saving.

Unless you have at least several hundred thousand i assets, and multiple businesses, I’d save your money and find free help from willing people.

Hiring an advisor from your own family is almost like working with a therapist who is part of your family.

So far I have not taken any financial advisor and am going on my own. I figure if I start saving now I can worry about specifics down the line when I educate myself more.
