ETFs do look appealing, now to do that homework :)
Going to give it whirl & see what happens.
Decided to stop after the first one.
It was after reading these threads that I realised I was getting taken for a ride.
A little investigation & it was confirmed.
Any real growth on my money was going straight to the "FA" & financial institution. Leaving me with pitiful, if not negative...
100% but some lessons you need to learn the hard way, I guess.
As to investing overseas, still busy getting my head around what is out there & how it all works.

Newbie here, have been reading everything available on finances, after my own rude awakening with my "financial advisor."

Thank you in advance for any help.
And a HUGE thank you for all the information...
Thanks for your questions & answers.
Also had the unpleasant experience of dealing with a "financial advisor."
Realised recently that the only finances he was looking after were his own. Kickbacks & high fees all the way...
Have come to realise that to make this work you have to do it...
