Advisors Selfishness Coated in Chocolate
One of the coolest expressions I’ve ever heard and it fits perfectly with the financial services and retirement planned industry.

Included in this episode:

- What’s the most common chocolate used?
- Professionalism
- Frequent Communication
- Fancy Language
- False Rates of Return
- Here is what happens if you fall for chocolate covered selfishness
- 5 Lives of Retirement grid
I love chocolate, especially on ice cream, but making bad things look like they will “taste good” is evil. This is what advisors use to lure you in. Vote with your money, if anyone tries to sugar coat their joker broker mutual funds or crappy whole life policy, making it look like a real financial plan, kindly or harshly turn them down!
