As this humorous, 32 second video demonstrates, there are no requirements to call yourself a financial planner.
There is no testing, no licensing, no registration and no regulation.
In contrast, the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification requires years of experience, training in a broad spectrum of financial topics, rigorous testing and ongoing education.
I am proud to have been a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional since September of 1999.
Enjoy.
