The financial planning and advice industry has been experiencing healthy growth for the past five years and is expected to accelerate this growth following the Covid-19 pandemic (IBISWorld, 2021). The pandemic has led to higher equity yields and appreciating asset value, directly increasing the total value of assets under management (AUM) held by financial planners and advisors. The industry in the US alone has surpassed $52.9 billion in 2021. As the economy is expected to improve, this figure is expected to follow suit. Not included in these figures are the explosion of online personal finance bloggers and influencers. Some YouTube and TikTok videos have raked in billions of views regarding personal finance (Smith, 2021). Many of these online contents have benefitted viewers and prompted them to start making good decisions regarding their personal wealth, spreading financial literacy to the masses. However, poor financial advice may be spread out as easily to viewers. The Wall Street Journal has reported on this issue back in 2005 where blogs and magazines have been found to give both good and bad advice on budgeting, saving, and overall personal finance management (Cullen, 2005). Whatever the net effect of this phenomenon, the easy access through social media has amplified it. This article briefly journeys through the evolution of personal finance management and personal financial planning, including the new trends this industry is moving towards. Subsequently, this article will look into the risk and rewards of the current personal financial planning and advice industry, including certified financial planners and uncertified personnel (social media influencers, financial gurus), as to whether consumers are benefitting as a whole, or otherwise. A disclaimer to this research is that the findings and opinions towards the industry do not encompass all the service providers in the business as there are many other influencing factors such as business models, individual agenda, and unique circumstances of each provider and consumer.

One of the most common assumptions in design of Human-Computer interfaces is that there is an advantage to matching the psychological (cognitive) characteristics of the user to the interface features of the computer. However, except in the area of training and experience there have been few clear demonstrations that underlying cognitive characteristics of the user significantly interact with interface features. This paper will describe an experiment in which the effects of individual differences in user's information (cognitive) style (specifically field independence/dependence and breadth of categorization) upon interaction with a complex computer program were examined. The program was a realistically difficult personal finance management system which required database searching and problem solving activities. The program was rich enough to allow alternative interaction methods. The experiment comprised three parts. In the first phase, subjects learned how to use the computer system. In the second phase the subjects entered information into a personal finance database and in the third phase the subjects used their personal database to locate and correct discrepancies between a simulated bank statement and financial records. Prior to these experimental tasks subjects information-cognitive styles were evaluated using standardized tests of field independence/field dependence and breadth of categorization. The results indicate that users with different underlying information styles, at similar levels of learning, have different preferred methods of interacting with the computer, and, that different database search methods are preferred by users of different cognitive styles. For example, field independent subjects preferred key-word multidimensional, non sequential database search methods while field dependent subjects used a method in which the database was searched in a linear, sequential mode.
