Occasionally, I have been known to go on slightly biased rants regarding the general modis-operandi of the modern day money-driven superficial narcissistic society which we are oh-so-lucky to inhabit (I may sound facetious there, but I do understand we are lucky to be born here, I do)…

But, here’s another little example of how you can pretty much guarantee that every day you wake up, you should expect that someone will attempt to screw you over, in one way or another.

Take this tasty factoid I picked up from a CBC article, which you can verify here:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bank-...

Do you have a financial advisor, or a financial adviser? What’s the difference, right?

Wrong.

Legally, you can call pretty much anyone an ‘advisor’ and that person has no legal obligations to you as a customer, because that ‘advisor’ is simply a salesperson in camouflage. They are there to make money, regardless of your best interests.

And I suppose this is symptomatic of the world we find ourselves encompassed by.

But seriously, only financial advisers spelled with an ‘e’ have any obligation to your best interests. All the rest of these jackals are car-salesmen in disguise…

How is that allowed? Why aren’t people pissed off about this?

I guess it comes down to the ol’ adage, ‘well, if it’s not affecting me, then why should I be bothered about it?’

(Also symptomatic of our beautifully self-obsessed society – which is ironic and hypocritical of me as I write this self-indulgent blog to post on my personal Facebook page in order to generate likes, but hey, I’m a fucking product of my surroundings).

But it does affect you (just like the fact that the government is systematically collecting all of your meta-data and storing it for further use… but I’ll save that for a separate post 😊)

Inflation, debt ratios, interest rates, the fucking stock market, they all hinge on those who we take advice from. And if those giving advice have as much honour and dependability as a goddamn vacuum salesmen (why the fuck does vacuum have two u’s in it, by the way?) then I mean, what the fuck can we expect when our entire economy collapses?

Anyways, I’m gonna pour another glass of wine and see if reading a couple more news articles can really get me fired up, but yeah, just wanted to let you know, if you have a financial advisor, fire that glorified infomercial and hire yourself a goddamn adviser.

Okay bye!
