Recommended Financial Products, Books, Etc.
As teachers, we too often get the short end of the financial stick (predatory 403Bs for example), but there are other options! Below is a list of financial services, products, and books that I think are really great and/or I use myself.
These are affiliate or referral links. As such I will receive financial compensation if you use them which does present a conflict of interest. Please always do your due diligence when choosing a financial product or service.
Fiduciary Fee-only financial advice
Nectarine
Financial advice doesn't need to cost exorbitant amounts, and it shouldn't be accompanied by a sales pitch. That's where Nectarine comes in. Get an hour of financial advice from a professional for between $150 and $250--NOsales pitch included.
Low Fee Financial Products
Fidelity
Financial Products like your IRA, HSA, or even your 403b (if they are an approved vendor) shouldn't have fees higher than 1%. That's why I use Fidelity. They have low-fee products and a great interface. What more can you ask for? (Make sure to check the fees for each fund within Fidelity as fees fluctuate from fund to fund). If you want to open an account, I would appreciate it if you used my referral link.
