Should I get a financial planner?

I’ve been thinking more and more laterly about hiring a financial advisor to help me with asset allocation, retirement planning, tax shelter opportunities, and a bunch of things that I have no idea about.

Does anyone here use a financial advisor? Has it been a wise decision?
*I already read Kiyosaki’s lame book, thanks.

*not from the States

I am a financial advisor. There are thousands of financial advisors out there who can do the same thing when it comes to Estate Planning. They can us the same products, tools, rules, etc. What it comes down to is if you trust this person. I always tell clients, ” you can do everything exactly the same across the street with Morgan Stanley, the question is if you feel comfortable with the person”. I always tell clients that I don’t sell anything, I educate. So if I were you I would find someone who can educate you and not sell products…

Also remember although you can try to learn these things, you there is no way to keep up with new tax laws, trading rules, insurance products, mutual funds, re-balancing, split ticket, A and B trusts, By sell agreements, cds vs annuties, etc….. Do you have time to figure all this out? Do you ask your Doctor to build your house or your Accountant to do brain surgery..probably not.

So get someone qualified, trustworthy, and speaks in simple terms..

Interview your advisors before you choose!!!

For some free advice, there are two parts to Estate Planning…

Accumulation Phase (which people spend 95% of their time)
-Savings, Checking, Stocks, Mutual Funds, Annuities, Business, Real Estate, Bonds, etc….

Distribution Phase (which includes preservation of assets, keeping money from Uncle Sam)
- Living Trusts
-Life Insurance
-Registration/Titling of your Businesses
-Tax planning

Now you can attack these areas like, asset allocation or probate, or life insurance within these two realms.

I agree, Rich Dad poor dad SUCKS,, so does Suzy Orman..dont waste your money..some of rich dad poor dad ideas dont apply anymore..

hope this gives you a good idea..GOOD LUCK
