This three-part series discusses what you need to understand when you engage with a financial advisor and the options you have for paying for their "advice."

A reporter recently asked why he can't pay an hourly fee for a good financial advisor to tell him what to do. In this episode, we discuss if this type of arrangement exists and why financial firms are not set up to work with you in this capacity.

We reference Broker/Finra check - you can look up your financial advisor at https://brokercheck.finra.org/
