The answer to achieving a better return on life is to ask for advice. Why is it so scary to ask for financial advice? People tend to shy away from asking for financial advice for a multitude of reasons. The main reason we find is that they are uncomfortable with someone else seeing their financial picture, whether it is the thought of being judged or not having enough money. However, this should not be the case, you should have somewhere judgment free to explore the ways to improve your life. Investors of all ages should have someone to lean on when it comes to the tough financial decisions to be made throughout their lives. The internet can be a useful tool for answering some of these questions, but a lot of times it will not answer questions regarding your personal situation.
Financial advice is more than just talking about your investments, it deals with personal decisions you will have to make which can include business, family, education, philanthropic goals, and lifestyle plans. This advice includes everything on your personal balance sheet and how to manage it in a way that fits into your overall life plan. There is no one size fits all model for life planning and anyone that sticks you into any sort of model is wrong. Everyone has different needs and goals they want to accomplish and the way to streamline this process is to speak with an unbiased financial professional with your best interest in mind.
