Funny how it always seems to far more about them, than me

But you do get a nice free dinner.
I like to ask them for their credentials and listen to what they say.
One was a former math teacher who had this financial program that gives him the answer to your situation.
Another was a salesman who told me he took a couple of on line financial courses.
Asked him if he knew what a CFP was and he looked at me as if I had two heads.
Amazing though how many people do sign up for the second meeting one on one.
But the dinners were nice.
