Does DIY always work in Personal Finance?

I am the biggest advocate of Do it Yourself but I also know that it does not always work in Personal Finance, sometimes you need that professional help which will help you to overcome the difficulties you face. The main aim is to get the right fit in the financial products whether you do it yourself or you ask for help.

The problem is the finance subject is huge and we have to literally update ourselves with all the knowledge to be knowledgeable about it and try to be better than yesterday. Now someone who is in the industry knows in and out about it but again a lot of people who spend just 1-2 hours daily cannot be perfect.

Let's take an example of Mutual Funds, there are 100s of mutual funds out there and thus we have to be careful not to overbuy our portfolio. In my case, I have done that mistake and to rectify that mistake I have to rebalance my portfolio so that I remove that extra funds from my portfolio. This is the mistake most people who DIY their personal finance whatever good things they check they try to invest in that. And because of that, they have unnecessary funds in their portfolio.

If we speak practically, we can do these many things with the money i.e. earn, save, spend, invest, lend or borrow and now every action is different and thus there are tools to enter into any of these actions digitally now. Now we do not understand the outcome of the actions or the risks associated with it then there are possibilities that something might go wrong.

I am not saying that DIY is wrong and we should not do it, I am doing it with all my investments and other things but sometimes if I do not understand anything then it's better to take professional help. Like in the case of Insurance and loans, I have taken the help of a distributor to get the best deal for myself.
