I Don't Always Know What I Do Not Know

Remember the online brokerage ads and the do-it-yourself proponents who wanted you to believe that nobody is to be trusted and that you should do this all on your own? Call me stupid, but when I am looking to blame someone for making the wrong financial moves, I find myself at the top of the list. I have made more than my share of mistakes — many of which would have been avoided with professional consultation. The opposite also holds true. There have been instances when my instinct were right and I allowed a professional to talk to me out of a decision. But on the whole, I would rather find someone worthy of my trust and not have all the stress myself. in my case, I work with someone who advises and consults with me when I think I have an idea. The bottom line is that we need someone worthy of our trust.
