When I was a young naive lad, I went to college with the hopes and dreams of becoming a stockbroker. I even had an internship with a major player in the stock game. Things were looking up as I was soon to be the next big thing on Wall Street, lol...
Well, one day I had an epiphany. I woke up and said, "screw this noise." Here I am studying finance while a MAJORITY of the full time "brokers" had Bachelor of Arts degrees. At that point I realized what a fraud the financial system is. I finished college with my BBA and ran away and joined the military. I've been around the world, seen things that would give people nightmares, stood over a man while he took his last breath.
Would my life had been easier had I played along with the con known as the financial system? Sure, I probably would be receiving upper 6 figures by now. But I decided to take the high road. Made plenty of mistakes along the way. But I answer to me and only me. We are all playing the game but when you are sitting down to closing tomorrow and you are looking the vultures in the eye, just remember you are using the leeches for your own means... Sure they'll make a couple of bucks of you but you'll get what you want out of the deal as well. Good luck at closing

Other than closing tomrrow 0930, no. If you include criminals who have to look themselves in the mirror every day, then no. Why would financial scam artists who care about nothing but their commission actually care about doing the right thing and trying to be honest from the start. After 45 years on this planet and dealings with every scum POS scam on the planet I recognize losers looking out for none other than themselves. Any person involved in selling/financial products is a scam artist and one step away from being locked away in prison. Go ahead and convince yourself otherwise. All financial companies are actively looking for ways to legally take more of your money. To say otherwise is flat out lying.
