Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4465332, member: 6696"] As they should have. Good for them. What really grinds my gears is these folks market themselves as "the retirement guy for the district" or something. When the Equitable advisor walked into my classroom unannounced one day after school my first year teaching, I really thought he was the 403b guy [I]for the district, [/I]and that I had no other option. It's how they present their services and it's super misleading. I've got no problem with fee-based financial advisors even if I don't use one. I've got serious beef with guys that take advantage of naive, overworked teachers. I'm lucky that I only invested with them for a year before I ended up taking control of finances myself. It takes months of calls and [I]ridiculous [/I]fees to close their accounts. One of my coworkers had something like 30,000 in an account with them and it cost 1000$ in fees to close the account!
