Markets will go up and will go down it is the long run that you are paying your advisor to help you manage.

I have more address labels than I'll ever use and they came from charities that I never donated to.

We started using them for sealing the back of envelopes so supply is more reasonable these days.

Charity begins at home.
I have college funds for all 5 grandkids.
My children are educated and successful, but I still give them money while I am above ground, and can see what kind of money managers they are.,
I doubt that Social Security will be there for them, so they will inherit whatever I have leftover.
I tithe to Charities now.
I like seeing where my $$ are going.

Financial adviser?

Never had one, never will. Do your own dd.

That’s like saying, “Auto mechanic? Never had one, never will.” Or “Accountant? Never had one, never will.” “Plumber? Never had one, never will.”

Managing finances can be complicated. And even if you don’t find it so, others do.

Your financial planner is not a market timer. If that is what you need then you should not be hiring a planner.

Kathy, I went to a Michael Whitaker and Associates LLC, free lunch seminar back in January 22, 2019, he was pushing that GWG L bond with the high interest rates. It was very appealing and he seemed legitimate, but three years later and your money is gone. I don't believe I'll be taking anymore free meal financial seminars. I am sorry that you lost your money.

We have gone to a number of the free dinners and listen to them and very rarely will they voluntarily reveal their background. Mostly they are there to sell annuities.

Depending upon the restaurant can be a very nice dinner though.

If I am going to give someone 2% of my wealth they better well know how to time the market.
If they knew how to time the market they would be multi billionaires and would have no reason to bother managing other peoples money.
