Should I fire my financial advisor? I have no personal issues with him, but feel like I can save 1%
Briefly

Many investors choose to manage their finances independently, attracted by the cost savings of not hiring an advisor. However, they should be cautious, particularly as the transition from a bull to a bear market can present numerous challenges. The past two years of a rising market have made navigating investments appear straightforward, but the author warns against assuming future market conditions will mirror that experience. Conversations with financial advisors, or possibly switching to a more affordable one, can provide essential support during turbulent times, encouraging investors to intelligently prepare for inevitable market fluctuations.
Plenty of self-guided investors embark on their financial journeys without professional guidance, offering them perceived cost savings, yet they must tread carefully amid potential market pitfalls.
Opting out of financial advisory services may seem cost-effective, but investors must be prepared for the challenges of navigating bear markets independently.
