Are suggesting that someone should expect to compensate an expert for sharing knowledge gained from experience and/or coaching and not get something for nothing?

It's not to say I'm an "expert" now, but I definitely feel like I have a strong foundation.  

A lawyer may know in general about the accounting part of an LLC, but he is not an expert.

As one of the resident experts in all things student loans (for good or bad), I would tell you my initial thought is that if you don't have a TON of loans, then save a little longer, pay them off, and then your improved credit score, improved debt-to-income ratio, and overall cash flow, will ALL be better for investing.  

I'm eager to learn from experienced professionals and local market experts.
