Default Re: Talking to a Financial Advisor

What helped me a lot was just reading books and magazines on the subject of money, saving and investing. Then you can learn to do your own investing and not pay anyone. There are some pretty good experts on this forum that will give you advice for free. If you are earning income, I would suggest you open up a Roth Ira in a vanguard Index fund. That is a good place to put $4000. I would put the rest in an emergency fund earning the highest interest you can find, around 5% would be good!!
