A short YouTube commentary (by Peter Vander Wall) arguing that the hardest people to help are those who believe they already understand complex topics — here, tax strategies. The speaker warns that people who do extensive DIY research on the tax code often devalue professional advice out of pride and risk making major mistakes if they handle tax strategy alone.

The hardest person to help is the person who thinks they've got it all figured out. If you ever get on a call with someone and they've been doing a ton of research on the tax code and different strategies, they're not going to value your advice. They need it. They'll massively screw up their tax strategy if they DIY it. But to admit that is to admit they've been doing something wrong and they're too prideful for that.
