I have found a very effective explanation to "wealth management" people. I am very calm, kind, and sincere when I say: I have no doubts that you are, as you say, ONLY interested in MY future and love your helping helping others "achieve their dream retirement", BUT, I have to tell you honestly, I do not believe there is anyone as interested in MY best financial interests as I AM, sorry, I just don't believe you care about my investments more than I do !

Hope you at least got the free swag!
Some of the people you mentioned no doubt are well intentioned .....and the others are a step above a Carny.
