This means that if you call yourself a financial planner and you didn't pass the exam, you are in trouble. Unfortunately, I think we are one of the only place where there is a difference between a financial adviser and a financial planner ;-) Frank,

I work and have studied in the finance sector and still find all of this to be very difficult so I cannot imagine how tough it must be for someone who does not have much experience in the area... just not easy!

Anyone can call himself or herself a “financial planner or financial adviser”. Be wary of people who call themselves that way but who appear more interested in pushing specific financial products at the expense of your real needs and goals. I enjoyed reading the series “How To Find A Good Financial Advisor “ (http://www.thefinancialblogger.com/how-to-find-a-good-financial-advisor-part1) and Sophie, it doesn’t hurt to re-question her position... :) Some highlight recent trends on financial institutions that are more demanding, requiring more money down, better income-to-debt and that are putting high-pressure on sales persons.

I am not good with numbers. My financial planner can simply give me tons of numbers and I will still believe her!! But she seems competent and trustworthy. I think the good thing for me is to be prepared for that kind of meeting. Reading your blog is for me a good step hehehe I think I am vulnerable in this though. I am not good with numbers.
