No, Wait...
When I go to an expert I expect good...
Fill in the blank there. It depends on the expert as to what you expect, but we usually expect to get good advice on the subject. If it's financial advice, health advice, personal advice...
And if we're paying that person for said advice, we should get our money's worth. Sometimes we do get our money's worth, but lately I'm left feeling like the panda looks in the above picture.
It's no secret Old Fuzzy and I are retirement age. We made it to—well, just say we arrived.
But like the T shirt my sister bought for me years ago, not only have we 'Got it all together and forgot where we put it,' some of it has evaporated away.
Old Fuzzy contacted a financial advisory company, only to be told 'if you don't have $100 thousand or more we can't help you'.
If I had that much money plus, I wouldn't need them. Whatever I had been doing would have worked fine in continuum.
Ditto with our health care. Some people in my family have tried to tell me that I have the health problems I do because 'I sat around and worried about getting them.'
Absolute poppycock. Old Fuzzy and I flat out ran all of our life. We never had time to sit and worry, neither did we ever think we would get old or retire.
Which kind of explains our lack of $100 thousand plus. I digress. If anyone should be healthy it's us.
We've always eaten healthy, growing our own food and keeping up on the latest 'good lifestyle' advice. Living as close to nature as possible.
We ate whole wheat back before it was a trend as well as organic and non GMO. Our own homegrown milk, non pasteurized and non homogenized.
What we did was try to keep with what had been shown to be good from past generations. Advice ? There is a whole bunch of advice out there. Some of it is good, some is honest, but it changes every year.
