UK Resident Doctors and Dentists - Are You Planning Your Financial Future Or Being Sold Policies?
Copyright 2006 Ray Prince
There are really only two types of services you can choose from when getting help with planning your finances, although some financial advisers do not offer both.
The key question you should ask yourself is which one is best:
Financial Advice or Financial Planning?
Clients that get financial advice often end up treating their financial programme like a shopping trip. They simply progress through life collecting policies. It is very much an event driven exercise.
For example, you may have children so you buy some life assurance or see an advert and buy an investment policy etc.
Because it is event driven the advice is reactive/problem solving, and will almost always result in a policy being sold to you (or doing the research yourself and you buying the policy without advice).
The problem with this is that there isn't any form of measurement that takes place until it's too...

An Internet Radio Talk Show with a Colonial Twist
An internet radio station has teamed up with a local financial planner to launch a new radio talk show named "Poor Richard's Shoebox (C)." Voice America Radio (Tempe, AZ) is working with author Joseph F. Dunphy M.B.A. to produce a pilot, one-hour internet radio show focusing on taxes and personal finances.???? The title reflects two key elements of the show. "Poor Richard" is a reference to Benjamin Franklin, whose autobiography was read carefully by many immigrants seeking a better life in America. The show uses examples from Franklin's work to reinforce basic principles.
The "shoebox" refers to the phenomenon of harried taxpayers, who come into offices of financial professionals carrying "shoeboxes" (or their equivalent) of records in disarray, often at the height of the tax season. Result: they are charged "nuisance fees" for the work of getting organized.???? The show aims to help people find simple, inexpensive ways to avoid these problems. It also helps to point out new...
