The True Value of Advice
Tax strategies alone can save thousands of dollars and do not show up on any type of investment statement. But make no mistake, these have a very real impact on wealth creation and management nonetheless, and are easy to overlook. Sometimes people overestimate their investment abilities with their finances, with confidence powered by an armful of do it yourself information. While this may be the path for some, most people can’t replace the value of the advice of an expert. Without advice you may never know what you have lost in the long run.
