Hello ladies, does anyone have a great non-judgemental financial advisor in NYC? I’m 34 & found myself back to $0 & living paycheck to paycheck after some unfortunate life circumstances. Want to know the best way to rebuild so I don’t have to work until I die and also have some hope. I feel like such a failure even though this was out of my control. Also being single and doing life on 1 income is even harder.
Would appreciate any recommendations or just words of encouragement at this point.

Hang in there! Lots of folks start in their 30s for the first time after gaining exposure/ financial awareness. The fact that you’ve done it once already means you can definitely build it again. You’re going to be fine!

I hope so! Thank you.

You will be fine- it’s always easier to look back and say, ‘If only...’ but stuff happens. If you are at zero, I would recommend not getting a financial advisor. Read up in the general investment strategies and get to know your goals. Plenty of articles and advice out there for your situation- just need to google.

Join the FIRE group and feel free to ask advice. Plenty of good advice out there for free. Financial advisers come in handy when you have a lot of assets or complex family financial issues. https://joinfishbowl.com/bowl_kqfd2

You have plenty of room to go up. You have already started asking the right question. You can do this!

Wow I’m definitely sending prayers your way. I don’t think a financial advisor would be the right thing for you. A lot of them require you to have a certain amount of net worth in order to begin advising you.
I highly recommend going to YouTube and watching videos on how to rebuild your income as well as your mindset so you can be on your way to greatness!

I have been working with a financial advisor through Northwestern who is just a few years in and trying to invest in folks like us who don’t have $$ to burn in investments by helping with creating budgets and regular check ins to see how we’re tracking. I told him several times i have no $$ for him and he’s pretty transparent about the investment in his clients in the long run. He’s actually based in Albany. Happy to share more via DM

You definitely don’t need a financial adviser, just some financial sense :)

I recently decided to slow down communication with one woman on my team because she is constantly trying to have social conversations about her personal life/beliefs and it was super distracting. She noticed that I had been responding less and completely went off on me!!! Why are people like this? This woman is close to 40 and I am 2 years out of college. Is this behavior normal/has this happened to anyone else before? I swear I feel like I’m in middle school again.
