What's your edge? What makes you think you can write a better financial guide than some random planner from Fidelity or Schwab? He at least has the experience of having talked to customers.

Professional financial planners don't have much incentive to act in their customers' best interests. Even if they have the knowledge and experience to give good advice, it doesn't necessarily mean they actually do.
