Reason for Blog


                Financial advice is everywhere. The problem is that often someone who is giving that advice is selling a specific product or insurance policy. This blog is different! The firm I work for provides fee-only advice to all new clients. In fee-only advice, no commissioned products are sold. Our goal is that after reading the advice we dispense and seeing our competence, you will want to hire us to give you advice full time.  If you don’t hire us, our hope is that you will learn something valuable from the blog postings which helps you make one of the myriad of financial decisions in your life.  

               We will not have paid advertising on the blog, nor will we charge for any responses we give in the blogosphere. Our goal as a firm, and in this blog, is to remove as many of the conflicts of interest in helping people make financial decisions as possible, committing to always having your best interests above our own.

Format of Blog

               Most of the blog postings will be from questions submitted by blog readers. In a similar format as Dear Abby, we will respond to the questions from readers and post the responses on the blog.   Only the first and last initials of submitters along with their hometown will be displayed on the blog.  

               In submitting a question, it is important to include as much background information as possible. Oftentimes, the subtle background details can make a huge difference in a financial decision. It is always better to include too much information than too little. From time to time certain information may be omitted from a blog question when it is not needed to answer the question.

                 Comments may be submitted, but due to regulatory concerns, they must be reviewed prior to posting. Most of the blog postings will be answered by Ben Gurwitz or Jim Oliver, and from time to time, a subject matter expert may be invited to answer the question.   Moreover, as pertinent events occur, a general blog posting will be added.
