He emphasizes the need to look for certified financial planners (CFPs) who have the necessary qualifications and expertise. He also explains the difference between fee-based and commission-based advisors and why fee-based advisors are generally more aligned with the client's best interests. David warns against financial advisors who try to sell products without considering the client's specific needs and goals. He concludes by offering recommendations for finding trustworthy financial advisors.

Certified financial planners (CFPs) are the most qualified and knowledgeable advisors.
