DIY financial planning is process that we have created to empower consumers to take control over their financial affairs.
• It is a process that employs strategic, tactical and operational planning to determine what can be delegated and not delegated assigning responsibilities and accountabilities for the success of a financial plan.
• If delegation occurs at the tactical level; this delegation is structured around legal mandates.
• DIY financial planning is about educating consumers about how to own their financial plan.
• DIY financial planning will be simplified through the use of our CoStacks program.

CoStacks will do to financial planning what Wordpress did to blogging

The first important conclusion of this report is that insurance companies have monopolized the influence over the decisional process regarding the changes needed to modernize regulations in this industry. The consumer is not represented. In fact, the power of the insurance lobby is so great that it has prevented any meaningful changes in this industry for the last 40 years.This is why he decided to create the Financial Services Consumer Alliance (FSCA)
