Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The term financial planning is greatly misunderstood. The financial planning firms frequently parade celebrities in the media to endorse their products. These institutions promote market timing,stock picking,and track-record investing as the solution for peace of mind. In addition, financial planning software is used to perpetuate the sale of their products by using fear and greed as motivators.
