There's an entire television network dedicated to doing things yourself — home renovation, landscaping, interior design, all of it. And the DIY mentality is genuinely admirable. But when it comes to retirement planning, the stakes of a bad install are a little higher than a crooked backsplash.

Today, Ryan talks about what DIY planning actually looks like in practice. DIY has its place. But some projects are worth calling a professional, especially when the cost of getting it wrong follows you for the next thirty years.

💼 DIY vs. Advisors: Lower fees may come with additional problems

📉 Common Mistakes: Stock picking and timing create risk
