Skipping a $50K Advisor Fee After Losing a Spouse-Wise or Foolish?
Briefly

A Reddit user, with $5 million in assets and facing retirement, is contemplating whether paying a $50K financial advisor fee is worthwhile. Given her situation, especially after losing her husband who managed finances, the fee aligns with industry standards for asset management. The decision hinges not just on the cost, but on the potential benefit of professional guidance for managing her wealth during retirement, considering her lack of financial expertise after her husband's death.
"To understand whether paying $50K for an advisor is worth it, it's important to look at the situation the original poster (OP) finds herself facing."
"While that may sound like a lot of money, some circumstances could more than justify the cost, so it's worth considering the big picture before deciding whether such a large fee is worth shelling out for."
