Articles ought to be preferably unbiased and certainly without a vested interest or a hidden motive like this one. I've noticed that the ultimate objective of all Personalfn.com articles is to 'advise' the reader to "get yourslef a financial planner" -- personalfn.com, that is!
Grow up guys. You need not attract clientele to your business (which is important, I agree) by being so downright selfish in your approach. Help readers without a selfish attitude and they'll come back to you in hordes. Or, better still, 'get yourself an editorial planner'.
it is such a waste of time to read this article...what he said is basic things in life that everybody knows.... please post some better articles which contains some realistic data and home work.
I don't think you need to post such an article. This piece suggests that you find a 'partner' and then it's his responsibility. Only if financial planning were so easy and silly! Rediff can surely write better articles than this.
Totally generic article. The fact is we all know this. It woudl have helped with an example. Like a couple having a one year old girl, both working. Now thats a case, build on that. We know that we need to do the homework, choose the right planner and act. The fifth suggestion is hilarious after giving the first four ones.
