The road to hell

The road to hell

It takes a whole lot of effort, time, and sacrifice to save enough money in your retirement plan so you could one day retire. You sure as sh*t don't want to get screwed out of that hard-earned savings by an unscrupulous financial advisor or insurance salesperson whose level of motivation to sell you something rises and falls based on the size of the commissions on the financial products they recommend to you.

The "Fiduciary Rule" was supposed to stop that from happening, but the rule was killed in court. It's a shame, especially because so much of it made sense. But before that, it was a shame in the first place that the rule was doomed to fail. I wrote why this week in the CNBC article below:

CNBC: Merrill Lynch's U-turn on mandatory fee-based accounts proves not every investor wants handholding

For more on this topic, now read: Investors need to demand an oath from advisors, not a regulation to rule them

And this: Are you a Reverse Churning victim?

And now watch " Too Fee or not to Fee"

To Fee or not to Fee?
