Is financial education important? How do you know your financial advisor is good?

We all know people who are book smart and common-sense stupid.

People that have all kinds of knowledge in general who you feel like they could tell you the dictionary word by word, but yet when it comes to the normal common-sense things, they can’t apply it.

So having all of the knowledge and information in the world doesn’t do us any good unless we know how to apply it and how to make it make sense for us in our situations.

Truthfully, I’d rather have somebody who is street-smart with me rather than someone who is just book-smart.

The thing about being book-smart is that they can’t apply it. The same is true for every other area of our

life, including our financial life.
