Summary

In this episode of Living Wealthy, we break down the real story behind how financial professionals get paid—commissions, flat fees, and AUM (assets under management) fees.

I explain how each model works, the pros and cons of each, and what you should watch for to ensure you’re getting real value—not just a sales pitch. Whether you're working with a commission-based insurance agent or a fee-only planner, understanding how they’re compensated is key to making informed financial decisions.
