How the I Ching Approaches This
The I Ching values both self-reliance and the wisdom of seeking guidance from those with deeper knowledge. The question is not whether financial advisors have value but whether your situation genuinely requires professional management or whether you can achieve similar outcomes through education and disciplined self-direction. The Oracle helps you assess whether the complexity of your financial situation justifies the cost of advice, and whether you'd use an advisor as a teacher or as a substitute for your own financial awareness.
