To some, this is obvious, but many people give to much credit to perceived experts in lieu of exploring subjects deeper themselves. This will cost you money.

Although you will find that some experts do intentionally mislead you, that is not even my main concern, as scammers expose themselves in other ways. Still, something to think about when you are thinking about blindly trusting someone you do not know in real life. Being on TV or wearing a nice suit should have no impact on how much you trust someone.

The main issue is that most people are not that expert at as much as you give them credit for, or they are not doing as much research as you give them credit for, or they are getting info from someone they 'trust'.....as you can see when you blindly trust someone, you are also trusting the process in which not only they get their info but also how they disseminate it and in what time frame.
I suggest to use your most trusted sources as starting points for diving in deeper to subjects, so you become the expert you can go to when having to make tough financial decisions. After all, you KNOW you can trust yourself!!
