Episode 3179:

ESI reveals the unsettling truth behind many so-called financial advisors, showing how little expertise some bring to the table, and how much it could cost you. With real-world locker room eavesdropping and a compelling breakdown of AUM fees, this piece empowers you to take charge of your own finances and avoid being sold instead of served.

Quotes to ponder:

"It’s really a sales job more than anything."

"They call me a financial advisor because it sounds better but I’m really mostly an insurance salesman."

"There’s no reason you can’t be your own money manager and be quite good at it."
