Re: Advice on hiring a financial advisor?
I don't have a financial advisor, but have this to impart- don't get one who makes their money off of selling you investments. Many of them sell mutual funds with loads or other financial products that make them tons of money, but aren't the best investments for you. Instead, choose a fee-only financial advisor. These will charge more up-front than an advisor who's not fee-only, but they don't receive commissions on the financial products (mutual funds, annuities, insurance, etc) that they sell you, so you know you're getting what's in your best interest, not the best interest of your advisor.
Hopefully someone else will be able to provide more information and/or opinions.
