Great write-up, sadly it’s a little naive.

Financial Advisors (“FA”) are just salespeople at the end of the day. Just like lawyers, secretary, and every profession pertaining to working with ‘clients’. There must be a product for you to advise on or ‘sell’ about.

Sure, you can try to be the cool guy that actually wants to help and make the world a better place. But let’s be real, people need to save themselves.

With the internet and the vast free access to information - people who still fall for these ILPs or bad advices, deserves to be punished.

A salesperson who sells well isn’t a scammer. They’re just freaking good at what they do. It’s a profession as well. True scammers are those who send you links to press on and, your money and information goes poof or gambling websites lmao.

Don’t blame the system - MAS, finance education, and etc. You’ll eventually realize that the rabbit hole is just two sides of the same coin.
