This triggered the internet today. I, like many others, don't agree with Pomp on this one. [link] This makes it sound like people that never achieved success in the traditional sense didn't work hard and didn't put in the work. To say this is insulting is an understatement. Sure, there are people who would have been successful no matter what walls they had to run through, but how many people who might have been willing to run through walls never had the opportunity to do so?

A listener asks: Would really love a podcast segment on at what point a person should be seriously considering shifting to a CFP versus managing their financial life on their own.
