Financial Information
How do I become a certified financial planner?
I wonder how I can become a CFP? What are all the steps required to be certified? How long does it take? I really want to succeed. Thank you

I could list the details here, but it is easier if you go to the CFP Board website, below. They have a whole section on the qualifications and education. Much depends on how much experience you have. I do know the exam is fairly difficult–it may take a couple of times to pass.
However, it’s well worth it. It’s a growing profession. It will be hard work, especially to get started. Also note it’s about a lot more than finances: the really successful financial planners are “people persons”–they genuinely like being with people.
Good luck!
