Anyone who believes in Trump enough to make the statement that you ' re responding to will think that the economists disagreeing with his policies is just evidence that they will work . <| sep |> Sort of related question how tf do you get kills with his deadeye without dying , either I don ' t get shit for kills with it or roadhog immediately hears where I am and chains me . <| sep |> Dada . da . dadah . <| sep |> Learning the basics of personal finance is incredibly quick and simple . There are plenty of short books that explain it and endless online resources . Most financial advisors won ' t teach you anything and will instead make you dependent on them . In that way , your habits may never be optimized compared to learning lessons and gaining knowledge yourself . Some advisors are different , but I ' d expect them to be the extreme minority . The bigger trouble comes when you branch into investments because advisors are glorified salespeople . They don ' t have business degrees or finance backgrounds , typically . Instead , after being hired they complete sales training courses in addition to product training . They are trained to make sales , not provide a service . The two aren ' t necessarily mutually exclusive , but there ' s a big incentive to sell or push particular products versus just servicing the client based 100 % on hisher needs . And even when an advisor does steer you in the right direction and doesn ' t sell you garbage , their fees and those of the funds they invest in are often significantly more than if you handled it yourself . For extremely wealthy people with vast sums of money and assets it can definitely make sense . For your average middleincome person , I ' d say most of them would be far better off taking a few days to learn the basics and develop the skills on their own .
