Why Free Financial Advice May be Dangerous

Of course, plenty of financial facts are available online and other sources. But, the problem lies on accuracy.

They provide one-size-fits-all financial advice. One more significant risk is that these types of free financial advices are without recourse. If such free advices cause you to lose money, you haven't any recourse. It is always more expensive than expert advice.
