SO, if you are so inclined I recommend investing time into learning as much as you can about finance. Assuming you are reasonably intelligent, after a few years you will be able to spot bullshit and sales tactics and be able to separate what’s right for you from what what is not right for you from a mile away. You may also consider taking courses to educate yourself.
With some experience and either self-teaching or formal education you will be better positioned in the future to make decisions regarding financial advice from professionals.
Consider those who hire mechanics to fix their cars (I do) : You might not be able to fix it yourself, but if you at least have some understanding of how the vehicle works you won’t inadvertently pay $2000 for replacement of the flux capacitor when it goes out.
