Singletary: Alternatives to pricey financial advice
During a recent online discussion, a questioner wanted to know if there was a type of professional he or she could hire who would give unbiased advice on those everyday money issues that always seem to pop up.I could recommend hiring a fee-only financial planner, but that would cost you anywhere from $150 to $300 an hour. Increasingly, there are fee-only professionals willing to work with people who want more than just investment advice.Scott D. Cole of Birmingham, Ala.-based Cole Financial Planning, a part of the fee-only Garrett Planning Network, said he would gladly sit down with someone looking for everyday financial advice.“There are so many choices out there and the consumer gets mixed messages, so it's helpful to have someone that doesn't have a vested interest in the outcome to tell them what they think from a financial perspective," Cole said.However, Cole admits it's not economical for people to pay an hourly fee to determine if they should buy or lease their next car.
