Dear Pay Dirt: How do we talk about our new home with friends?

When the shock of the November elections hit, my husband and I decided that the smart thing for us to do was to move a chunk of money out of the country.

We're not in agreement about how we talk about our new property with friends.

I don't want to treat this new home like a dirty little secret, but I also remember the days of making my last $ 10 last until payday .

Ask how they get paid, what kinds of services they provide, and whether they have experience working with people in a similar situation to yours.

A good planner will be transparent, responsive, and clear.

Not all CFPs are paid the same way.

"fee-based" advisors make their income entirely from sales.

My ex said that he found him, but he has a condition for returning them. Am I being sexually blackmailed?.
