What if you knew how much you paid for advice?

This is a continuation of my last entry "Healthcare and Financial Services, Can Either be Fixed?" See here.

No reason to estimate the value of the advice if we don't know how much you paid.


But what if you did know?

To the penny.

This is Part 2 of a 3 part series.

"Financial Services"-- The Global Lexicon Misnomer

This is part 1 of a series of 3.

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."--Mark Twain

We nod then shake our heads in complete agreement with commentators these days regarding the sad state of the "financial services" industry. But if you believe the term "financial services" defines anything, how much do you really understand about the current environment?
If this makes you wonder, then I suggest it is important for you to understand the difference in what we understand as financial services, financial sales, and financial advice.
