Get Rich Slowly notes that Kiplinger's is running a financial planning phone-a-thon this Friday. They're making real professional financial planners available for free advice, one day only:
Get free, personalized answers to your financial questions. For the fifth time, we are joining with the
National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) to sponsor Kiplinger’s Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. eastern time on Friday, January 26, NAPFA members across the U.S. will be standing by to take your calls and answer your questions.
Normally, these fee-only planners, who are well versed in investments, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and retirement and college saving, charge clients $100 to $250 an hour. But on Jump-Start Days, you pay nothing - not even for the phone call. Just dial 888-919-2345.
Our retirement hotline is a public service that is offered to all, not just Kiplinger’s subscribers. If your questions can’t be answered on the spot, you may be referred to resources on the Internet that will help you find the information you need.
Seems like this is specifically about retirement plans, but I'm sure they're going to look at your financial "big picture." This is great for those of us in our 20s who are so focused on debt and paychecks that "retirement" isn't even in our vocabulary yet.
