When you’re doing well financially, paying advisor fees might seem unnecessary. So do you need an advisor if you’re already in a good place?
Having a successful retirement isn’t just about not running out of money; it’s about what more you can do.
Through a real-life client story, I explain how having an advisor’s perspective to implement the right strategy can be more valuable than the cost of their fee.
Advisors can help you avoid biases in the way you invest and plan. They can ensure you have the right withdrawal strategy and don’t overpay on taxes. When handling finances for yourself, you may worry about what you could be missing. A good financial advisor will give you peace of mind, knowing you have all the right information.
It’s important to reframe your thinking: Is the cost of your advisor justified by the value provided?
