Quotes to ponder:

"I felt the weight of hers and other client’s hopes and dreams falling on my investing shoulders, and it felt like the weight of the world."

"I may be exaggerating a little, but I would want a financial advisor who lost sleep at night over my money rather than the alternative."

"Your relationship with your financial advisor is similar to that of your spouse, and if you can’t trust them and feel comfortable knowing you are on the same team together, then why get married to begin with?"
