Why not get a fiduciary (don't go with a financial advisor)....there's a BIG difference.
And get the advice BEFORE reading the books. In other words, don't put the cart in front of the horse.
A financial advisor (certainly not all of them) may charge a commission up front, and take his money and leave your investment up to luck. Many advisors do "front end loading", and/or advise you to invest with their prime concern being them making money off of your investment.
A fiduciary doesn't do that, and by law, must answer to the state for any "screw ups" and possibly loose their license.
Just my 2 cents...(but with inflation, worth 25 cents).
