    Bank workers are, at best, getting a small bonus when you sign that mortgage. Your fellow worker isn’t the enemy.

      These are the financial professionals that normal people should be able to trust to make important decisions.

        I mean… They’re salesmen more than trustworthy professionals.

        I see your point but the main issue is that nobody should ever trust the seller of anything to give them the info they need.

        People should only ever trust trustworthy independent third parties… But those are hard to find.

        I really don’t know what the solution is besides getting a better education, and I don’t mean a crap degree, I mean some more tangibile subjects in lower levels of school. I don’t blame them lightly, but people that accept this kind of thing aren’t the brightest.

        No, they’re not. A lot of them don’t even have a degree in anything.

        Your personal financial advisor is a person you should be able to trust with your important financial decisions. They guy at the bank handing you a contract to sign is an employee with a script on rails, a manager, and a commission structure.

        In a better world it wouldn’t be like that but in a better world I don’t think I’d be going to a bank in the first place.
