September 29, 2018 2:16 pmTrying to untangle myself from decades of working with a “advisor” and mutual funds and finding this is easier said than done, seems I have to go through my “advisor” even though it’s my money , and even more fees, transfer fees, deferred sales charges, it just keep coming …. pissed and embarrassed when i calculated my T REX score , similar to your sister, the banks , fund companies and my advisor are laughing ….. please teach this to kids
