The world of financial advice is changing. I’d argue that it’s actually going through a revolution of sorts, and mid-career individuals and families like yours will be better served as a result.
There's a difference between HOPING that you will become financially independent and doing what it takes to get there. In my experience in working with my personal CPA and estate attorney, I've come to realize that cost is only a factor in the absence of value. In those relationships, where I'm the client, if I feel I'm getting the value that I want, I am HAPPY to pay these professionals their keep. They are doing work I can't do, don't want to do, and are going above and beyond to take care of me? Yup, I'm a happy camper.
