You do not trust financial advisors - I will not show up in a suit, my style is to lay out pros and cons of all decisions and help you decide 2. Think its too expensive - A good financial advisor should provide way more value than they receive 3. Prefer to rely on peers or family for advice - I have witnessed a lot of good and bad advice come from the friends and family of my clients. Wondering if the advice is good or bad? I'll offer you a second opinion 4. Assume your union benefits will cover everything - It is possible, but are you sure? 5. Feel you are too busy - I enjoy what I do and I care about the people I do it for - we will make a time work for both of us 6.
