Description

As we continue our Back to Basics Money series, Sarah and I discuss whether or not you really need a financial advisor. That’s one big difference between us - I have a financial advisor, and Sarah does not. 

What are the pros and cons of a financial advisor? How do you know if and when you need one? What should you look for when hiring a financial advisor? And what are red flags you need to be wary of?

We discuss all that and more on today’s episode! Press play and let me know what you think - will you be hiring an advisor or taking a more DIY approach?

Sarah is a personal finance nerd who learned about finances and investing from an early age from her father and grandfather, who both spent their careers in the corporate finance world. As an adult, Sarah immersed herself in the personal finance and FIRE spheres, learning from top experts. Sarah is my personal go-to for all financial questions, and she’s here to share her knowledge with all of you!
