If youโ€™ve tried to find help getting some work done at your house, you know how hard it is to find anyone to do the work. Youโ€™re ready to pay. You know it will cost some dough. But there is no one around to answer your call, just crickets. Itโ€™s not a great feeling.

Which brings me to the robo-advisors touted by the big money managers like Vanguard. Do you like the sound of that? A robo-advisor? I donโ€™t. But no one wants to work. Thatโ€™s the world you invest in today.

Finding a trusted advisor, one you can actually speak to in person, is like finding help for your house project. They only want to talk to you if itโ€™s a big job. The investment firms donโ€™t have the resources to worry about Main Street. They are too big for that.

Action Line: You deserve to speak with a live person, not a robo-advisor. When youโ€™re ready to talk, letโ€™s talk. Iโ€™d love to hear your story. But only if youโ€™re serious. In the meantime, click here to subscribe to my free monthly Survive & Thrive letter.
