2016: Should You Hire a Financial Planner? Plus, the Credit Score Mortgage Myth  
Podcast: So Money with Farnoosh Torabi
Published On: Fri Jul 31 2026
Description: Farnoosh recaps a webinar on navigating money conversations with loved ones, then dives into the week's financial news: the Fed holding rates steady, what Apple and Microsoft earnings mean for your index funds, and a landlord's "work from home fee." Then, she tackles two big listener questions: how to find and pay for a financial planner (flat fee vs. retainer vs. AUM, and what "fee-only" really means), and why a perfect credit score doesn't guarantee you the lowest mortgage rate.
