ParticipantNobody cares about your future more than you do.
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.

Participant“Anyone factoring in the impact another terrorist attack would have on the economy and the housing market? And the odds that such an attack will happen? As much as I hate to think about the possibility, it seems to me that there is a near certainty that we will see another 9/11 style attack, or worse, in the coming years.”
JES – I agree that such a risk is real. However, the impact is not so predictable. Consider what happened to real estate after 9/11. Who would have guessed that there would be such a huge run-up in 4 years following that event ?
Also, who would have predicted that after this event there would be a general trend of increasing residential housing in high-rise buildings in urban centers? Not me. I thought the opposite would happenParticipant“Anyone factoring in the impact another terrorist attack would have on the economy and the housing market? And the odds that such an attack will happen?
