          4. Is financial advice expensive?

            Do you think that financial advice is expensive?

            I do agree that financial advice is expensive, and it can be costly especially when we are on the wrong side of receiving it.

            If a patient has been advised to take a medicine or treatment plan that not only will not relieve their symptoms but further compound their issues, then that's indeed very wrongful and expensive advice.

            In this episode, we discuss this notion as I share a real-life story.


            Have you ever received advice that surprises you in a way that is not pleasant? I was hoping you could share with me by sending a message to me.
