On the One Year Anniversary of Bernie Madoff’s Sentence
Did you know that it was a year ago that Bernie Madoff, the man to pull off the largest Ponzi scheme in history, celebrated his one year anniversary IN JAIL? Madoff was one of many members of the financial industry to bring it down. So, as you may know (for those of you who have followed me for the last year), that’s why I decided to write Fire Your Broker.
While, yes, the greed of “some” financial brokers hindered the industry’s reputation—the truth of the matter is that many Americans still trust their financial advisors. In fact, during one of the most difficult economic periods in our nation’s history, national surveys indicated that approximately 80% of Americans who work with financial advisors trusted them.
In today’s world where life has become a bit more complicated, we seek specialists to help us with our daily needs—health, mortgages, wills, life insurance, etc… We work with our financial advisors to help us manage our finances and grow our nest eggs, especially as funds once considered plentiful are disappearing and costs of living are increasing. A financial planner’s expertise is extremely valuable to sustaining the life we envision now and in the future.
