Just be careful about getting hooked up to a new yoke, please. Money folks are great at getting you to sign up to a new service where X% of your gain is siphoned off, in perpetuity, into their coffers.
You can do it yourself. Easily.
Scott Adams' financial advice is very sound:
Make a will.
Pay off your credit card balance.
Get term life insurance if you have a family to support.
Fund your company 401K to the maximum.
Fund your IRA to the maximum.
Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it.
Put six months’ expenses in a money market account.
Take whatever is left over and invest it 70 percent in a stock index fund and 30 percent in a bond fund through any discount brokerage company and never touch it until retirement
If any of this confuses you, or you have something special going on (retirement, college planning, tax issue), hire a fee-based financial planner, not one who charges you a percentage of your portfolio.
I would add one last one.
If it seems like a "get rich quick" scheme, or in any way seems like magic or "too good to be true", don't do it. Do. Not. Do. It.
