You’ve heard all the reasons why you should call a financial advisor, but what about the reasons you shouldn’t? In this tongue-in-cheek episode, Tad, Toni, and Tyler run through seven hilariously bad reasons to skip working with a professional. From “I’ve mastered internet research” to “I want to work until I die,” the trio uses humor to highlight some of the most common (and dangerous) mindsets that keep people from getting help when they need it most.

While it’s full of laughs, this episode also packs serious financial wisdom. Tad explains why tax laws are changing, how failing to plan could mean leaving a big chunk of your legacy to the IRS, and why trying to DIY your retirement income plan may lead to big mistakes. Whether you’re side-eyeing advisors or just wondering if you really have to work forever, this episode offers a gut-check, a few laughs, and you may realize you’re in better shape than you thought.
