Thanks for sharing your “education” with us. (BTW, this is my 1st post) [:-]

I just wanta pass on my experience, but I went a sightly different way compared to yours. I had read the book by Sean O’Reilly (Anyone can be a Millionaire) and then read Jan Somers books. Sean O”Reilly indicated in his book (among other things) to go and see a “financial planner” (FP). OK, so off I went, two visits later the FP tells me that he was concerned that I was reading Jan Somer’s “OLD” books. The FP did not steer me (and wife) to the area of investing in IP which was what I was looking for (advice re IP etc). As it turned out, $400 later, I rec’d a financial plan from him and no details about any IP other then to sign up with some sort of on-going management trust and the fact that he will get commissions from the investment etc. Someone later quoted to me that I was helping him with his retirement plans and not mine. True. So $400 spend to find out that FP have no interest in IP as they do not earn an income from them.
