I started with a financial advisor just a few months ago. That doesn't mean I entrust all my earthly possessions to him. I still need to be knowledgable and stay engaged - probably more than ever because I need to learn why he is doing things differently than I have done over the years - that's why I hired him. But not every financial advisor, lawyer, doctor, or accountant does the right thing all the time. I hope the club encourages those with financial advisors to join. It will be a big help with "testing" the validity of what your advisor is doing to you, err, for you. ;D
