I have always gotten such good advice here that I thought I would ask whether I need a financial advisor or not and then how to choose one.
I have through the years had various jobs and kept the retirement accounts from those jobs. I also through the years saved money and I have also been very good about not touching any those accounts.
Currently I am in a situation where I have a few accounts and wondered if I should consolidate those accounts to make them work for me. When I was younger I just didn't think about consolidating them.
I am at a loss as to how to choose someone. I have read some articles that say don't go to the bank because they will just have you get another account. Choose an advisor who will charge to handle your accounts because they work the best handling the accounts and advising what needs to be done.
Have you had the opportunity to choose an advisor and how did you find one???
