Tell them to give you a few dollars to put you in the "not poor" category, lol. Tell them to make you some damn cash monies! BTW, who do you use? Is it a firm or an individual?
The whole fucking idea of a wealth manager is to HELP YOU BUILD WEALTH. Fire that douchebag and go someplace that is ok dealing with people who aren't multi-millionaires. I interviewed with a firm called First Investor's Corporation. They had some pretty solid looking, relatively conservative programs that would be pretty recession proof...which is very important nowadays. They seemed to emphasize having something for every level of investor. Which impressed me. I just didn't want to be a wealth manager. lol. Also, you could always just buy into the stock market. Stocks are lower than they'll ever be right now, so now is the right time to buy, I would say. You could grow your money pretty easily and quickly, I would think.
