It’s all about disclosures. They just disclose they are screwing them.

Disclosures?

So this Reg BI is all about more disclosures to the clients? Not actual requirements us as advisors have to do for each and every client?

So what are your negative thoughts on Primerica just curious?

The fact they call themselves financial advisors. Without the ability to provide a wide array of of products and services to clients. Most of their “advisors” are part time. Buy term and invest the rest is their mantra... etc, etc.

What about Ed Jones as well

What about EJ? We’re going to thrive in this environment.

They mentioned Primerica so was curious about EJ to. I’ve heard many at primerica doing great to

I was incorrect. From Primerica’s own website - sales force average annual pay in 2019 was $6,249. Then they have to pay $25/month for platform access, so real 1099 compensation would be under $6k and you have to pay 15.3% self-employment tax on that plus federal and state.

Need hair advice for how to make my hair look ok for the office. I’m Korean, with thick, straight hair and I’ve never done anything to it - I never even blow dry it, and I’ve always worn it down. But through my 20s, my hair has gotten more and more coarse and frizzy. Insanely coarse and wirey with random kinks in the coarse strands — no hairspray, frizz cream, or oil has been able to calm it. I’ve tried deep conditioners too. I have 0 hair skills - are frizzy ponytails my only option?
