So – I suppose the vesting sched, and timelines will be in there, I will fire more questions as they come.
As for the professional advice…. I agree in principle. We hired some financial planners about 1.5 years ago. They accepted a check for 1,000.00 and produced a massive folder which basically assumed I had never heard of compound interest, and then tried to sell me overpriced life insurance.
I have the basics down. Long/Medium/Short term investment plans have been successful thus far. I am considering sitting down with Rich and his associates, or some other planning outfit that I feel I can trust. My issue, is that I want more than a vanilla graph of historic investment trends … USAA told me 6 months ago to get out of gold, that it was too volitile, and that it was due for a fall. I would have lost a nice chunk had I taken that advice.
I post very rarely, but read this blog (and a couple others) pretty religiously. Is a financial planner going to do more for me?
Thanks again for the info (this particular bit, and the last couple years)
