I’ve thought about this again, and I no longer see it in a negative light. We are keeping our cards close to our chest and letting people get into a false sense of security thinking they can take advantage of us, when they can’t.
We have all the information from two financial advisors as to what we should do, and now have time to compare and contrast, and ask friends. There are many options and they’re all about an amount of return, some guaranteed some not, some hinging on the yen/US dollar relationship, some not.
Now we’re listing up things we felt were a bit weird and we will politely ask them in emails so we have answers in writing that we can carefully view later.
It took three appointments with one, and four with the other to get here, but it’s a good place to be.
Late to the game perhaps with all this, but that’s fine.
