I am useless at DIY. If something needs to be done, I am quite happy to pay for someone to do it. My father in law however is a great at DIY (he’s the one we usually call to fix something). He doesn’t see the value in paying a tradesman, he can do just as good a job himself.
You only use an expert if you believe that they can add value for you. When it comes to finance, lots of people can look after their own financial affairs and that is fine. But there are also people who need expert advice. There are also very capable people who would prefer to spend their time running their business or enjoying themselves and prefer to pay someone to look after their finances for them.
If you are looking to use a financial advisor, how can they add value for you?
