The real issue isn’t whether your financial advisor is a fiduciary, it’s whether they have a conflict of interest.  Here is the sad truth. Most Americans believe they already receive objective, fiduciary advice. The overwhelming odds are that they don’t, especially if the advisor has a conflict of interest over how they are paid. Some data suggests less than 3% of financial advisors are free of a compensation conflict-of-interest. A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive making them.Rick Kahler, CFP®, CFT-I™, has helped people make better money decisions by integrating financial planning.

Most professionals make their living giving advice.  Many of us go to lawyers, doctors, therapists, accountants, and financial planners for their advice. Early in my career I was more than willing, even eager, to oblige dispensing advice, solicited or not. At the heart of seeking advice is when we may be contemplating making a change in the status quo, I say “contemplating” because when we ask advice, we are often not completely ready to take action and follow that advice.
