Financial Planning - Lockport

A lot of people contemplate why anybody would pay money to a financial consultant when a great deal of free financial tips is available in books, on the Internet etc. The top reasons are accuracy, accountability and customization.

Why Free Financial Advice May be Dangerous

Of course, countless financial information is available on the net and other places. But, the problem lies on accuracy. It is nearly impossible to determine what is accurate and appropriate to your individual needs and goals. There isn't any doubt that what is befitting for your close friend might not be best for you. If you make financial choices depending on free financial advice that is unsuitable to meet your needs and goals, it could be harmful to your financial well being.

The main problem with free financial advice is that they don't know anything regarding your individual finances, ambitions etc. They are not aware of your own risk tolerance or time horizon. They provide one-size-fits-all financial guidance. Yet another big danger is that these free financial advices are without recourse. If such free advices cause you to lose cash, you have no recourse. It will always be more expensive than expert advice.
