Some people have turned themselves into experts... combination of formal education, career experience, and self-education.


But, those people tend to be a relatively small segment of the population.

When discussing financial/risk planning and management, people are often not talking about the same things... often one is talking apples and the other is talking oranges.

Many many people read a few articles and dive in and wing it.

To some planning means... I bought low cost mutual funds and pretty much follow basic academic advice on allocation that is commonly available in print media.

Others it also means, tax planning, asset protection, etc. The dustier corners of the planning continuum.
