Quote: Even were I to accept your assertion that good financial decisions are somehow beyond the competence of most pilots (which I do not) then I would need to accept your assertion that these same "incompetent" pilots ARE somehow competent to discern which of the many financial advisers out there is one of the "good" advisors that you yourself say are "difficult to find." Do you perhaps begin to detect the inherent circular flaw in the logic of your assertion?




I understand. You can do YOUR own investing, and scatter pearls to the rest of us swine, but anyone else saying different is doing people a "disservice" because, gosh, who else out there could be as bright and as knowledgeable as you.



Yet you are admittedly ignorant enough that you feel incompetent to handle single phase 240 volt AC current wiring in accordance with widely published wiring codes, even though the city, county, or state electrical inspector will personally check it before it is energized. Go figure.

That clarifies a great deal.

Gentleman and Ladies,

Here is ALL you need to know about Retirement Planning:

> You wanna' live on 60k(?)

> e.g - Multiply that times 30 years and,

> Get yourself $1.8 million

> Assume 3% Growth ( Just keeping up with below). Very conservative investment.

> Assume 3% inflation.

> S.S. at Age 62

> Retire at 60.

Statistically, You ain't even gonna' make it to 80 , let alone 90....So, Party On.

If you make a few percent here and there you'll STILL leave a Butt-Load of money on the table for people who never really even knew you....Yet, not One Penny for The Leeches / Advisors.

P.S. - The above ( Bad Case Scenario ) would leave your Heirs approx. $ 975, 000 IF you make it to 90. Much more otherwise.

P.P.S - Dave, I agree with your analysis also. I like SIMPLE though. YKW.

My 2 cents
I think a lot of advisors do get a bad rap, some deservedly so. However, its definitely worth the time to at least meet with someone who comes highly recommended. My family uses a CFP in Kentucky, we live in Michigan, who has always given us great advice. Let me know if you want his info. I don't think he does a lot of advertising besides word-of-mouth

Quote: Pleased to hear your retirement investing is doing fine. So's mine. And investing for retirement actually IS a simple process, that most often goes awry because people either don't do it at all do it inadequately, or trust it to a "financial advisor who has my best interests at heart."

This ain't rocket science guys, if you can fly an aircraft you can damn sure manage your own finances without giving up 1-2% of your annual investments to someone who can only make his/her money by taking it from you.
How many bachelor graduates know they may have financial advisors that only cold a GED.

Bogleheads.org could be a good start.
