We help you understand whether you need an adviser, and if you do want one, how to find someone who will act in your best interest.
Here's what to remember:
- Many people don't need to pay for financial advice.
- Use a "fee-only" adviser, not a "fee-based" adviser.
- Consider low-cost options like robo-advisers or Vanguard.
- You might need to break up with your adviser — but you can still be friends.
- Two online resources can help you find an adviser:
NAPFA and
Kent on Money.
