Most financial planners, such as Ameriprise, are actually in business to sell investments to you. So their advice is not in your best interest; it's geared toward making money for them. When you contact a financial planner, ask them what percent of their pay comes from fees paid by clients for financial planning. They should answer 100%, otherwise they have a conflict of interest and you can't count on their advice being impartial.
