Whatever you do, use a fee-only financial advisor acting as a fiduciary. 1% of AUM is what many want. Edward Jones charges 1.5% of AUM. If one earns 7.5% that is 20% of one's income, a huge bite. Then add in the friction of trading costs and taxes. Brrr! Please only go with inexpensive index funds from Vanguard, Fidelity and Schwab.
