I feel like you’d be a perfect candidate for DMM :)

I’m not sure of the ins and outs of the association, but I’m sure some poking around their website would get you what you need: http://www.aadmm.com/

Here’s the link for searching for them: http://www.aadmm.com/findDMM.php

And here’s a note from it: “AADMM does not endorse nor guarantee the services of any member listed in the “Find a DMM” section. However, all current AADMM members listed below have signed a Code of Ethics. We always encourage consumers to interview and ask for client or personal references before commencing services from a DMM. Be sure to review our list of questions to ask before hiring a DMM.”

While I haven’t worked with any w/ my own money, these two DMMs here I’ve personally spoken with on the phone and were super helpful and seemed to really care and know what they’re doing. Maybe start your search with them and see how it goes?

Good luck!

Oh man, well, it was a LOT of fun actually helping people – especially once they got that “a-ha” moment!, but it ended up taking up a lot more time (and energy) than I realized, and I started slacking on my more important projects. Like this blog and Rockstar Finance. I still coach some of my older clients here and there, but outside of that I stick to helping out online right now.

Def. worth trying out if it’s something you’re interested in though! You learn a TON about how people think (it’s more of a psychology session than a money one, really), and it’s cool to watch them progress as the months go on. It was a fun experience :)

J. Money,

I read your posts from several years ago when you were very excited to be a money manager. Your goals seemed to change and then you did coaching. Now it seems as though you don’t do that anymore. Why did you change your mind on the managing and coaching. Please share your experience on why you no longer want to do either. Thanks!

Haha…

Haven’t watched any of the Mindy Projects yet actually now that you mention it (I’ve heard of it of course just never seem to come across it?) but will try and remember to find it and check it out :) It’ll make for a great first impression I’m sure! Haha…

A friend of mine is a lawyer (as is her husband) and she keeps saying that she wishes she could hire someone to take care of her money for her. I always reply that she could do that but runs the risk of getting ripped off :) I’d tell her about this but I’m too worried she’d actually do it!

The best of both worlds :) And then if you REALLY do your job well, they won’t need to rely on you at all! That’s what I always told all my clients when coaching… “Hopefully you won’t need me this time next year” haha…

I’m feeling smarter by the minute!

Tell you what, I’ve had brain surgeons ask for money advice so guess what? We’re doing something that even that elite group can find baffling :)
