There are traditional financial advisors who take a percentage of your wealth each year and manage things. Those people seem overpriced to me. I did a research project about 18 months ago and interviewed financial planners around the country, and I'm intrigued by the newer type that are fee only advisors. They charge you an hourly rate for advice. Those people seem like they could be a really good deal if they know bigger strategic things to do rather than just picking stocks and funds for you. I think I will talk to one at some point about things like strategizing for Social Security and Medicare and things like health savings accounts where I've got a learning curve coming up.
