For GenX investors, this might mean someone who works with young professionals or business owners, does long-range retirement planning and college savings, and can help young families with life insurance needs.

You made a great point about being leery of advisors who don't ask questions. You want them to ask many questions to get a clear picture of your goals and how to help you achieve them. Good job!

I did so because I associated mutual funds with a greasy sales man who wanted to grub a commission. The day I discovered no load funds was one of the most profitable days in my life.

Instead I'd much rather see a world we we educate ourselves and then take responsibility for our own actions. Since I took responsibility for my own retirement by stepping away from financial planners and actively managed funds I haven't looked back. All those commissions that I would have paid are now starting to compound nicely. I’m really not a fan of the litigation based world that we are now living in.

I'd much rather learn from reading blogs and handling my own money rather than putting it in someone else's hands. These are great tips on how to deal with a bad advisor.
