Good advice, but I would add that the advisor should be fee-based - not commission-based. There is no way I’m giving a percentage of my nest egg to anyone on an ongoing basis. Get the advice and implement it yourself.

Now, if my mental faculties should start to fail, that’s a separate consideration. If that happens, I’d probably run for public office. 😎
