Do You Need To Change Financial Advisors? Ep. 118

June 12, 2024 • David C. Treece • Episode 118

David tells a funny story about having mice. Here is the link to the newsletter he mentioned.

Excerpt from the show: The hurdle that some people have is taking the next step. They reached out for help, issues have been identified, a plan of action to better the circumstances has been presented, but we sometimes worry about what comes next.

I’ll tell you, it took hours to get the garage in order and the better part of a day. But the results are worthwhile. Moving on from an old advisor who isn’t helping you get to the next stage of life is in my mind a lot easier than cleaning out a garage!

Here’s the other thing; just because someone helped you get to one spot, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the right person to get you to the next spot. Investing and financial planning when we’re within five years of retirement is a lot different than when we have ten or twenty years before we are going to retire.
