    Thanks for sharing awesome tips! I'm financially free and currently growing a solid retirement plan. It takes a positive and consistency to learn new things, unlearn the old habits Ms important to get a mentor/coach to lead you all the way. It's great to start young too!

      @Priest Lee yeah. Fees and commissions are factors to look at in search for financial advisers. There's financial experts out there who do not look at their fees but the impact and intrinsic value they bring along to you no matter how little you want to start. I'm glad I had one guide me start my financial journey

    New goal has been added onto the list.
    Become a single, not married financial advisor.
    The best for last got me hooked.
    I am an accountant, so I think once I become a Chartered Accountant there may be a similar effect. I just need to hit up a gym and get some muscles until then.
    The downside of being an accountant is unreasonable hours. I am literally on meds to try maintain the level of anxiety and prevent my nervous system from collapsing.

    Thanks you for this video, it was very helpful. Since you said tax is so important, I’m wondering you you think it’d be beneficial to be a CPA as well as a CFP. Would it increase the opportunities that are available? Would it increase the value I could bring to a client? I’m an undergraduate finance student wanting to be a financial advisor with the long term goal of eventually owning my own firm.

    • @straighttalks-ajsrmek323

    are you currently still a financial advisor? Currently I work in operations at a broker dealer and I am about to pass the series 7. I would like to move forward my current position since it is more back office and customer service. Did you need any other qualifications besides licensing?

      No. It might replace portfolio management, but it can't replace personal service. Part of the CFP role is a human connection.
