How do I find a Financial adviser/planner for my specific needs?

• My fiancee and I want to get a good adviser to help us make the right choices. and to help put us towards our goals. We are not at the point to be getting investment such as mutual funds etc but we will to be at some point. We need advice on home loans, student loans, retirement, planning for family growth, debt management, insurance, etc. How much does this kind of service cost and where do we find one that does not have a primary goal of selling us investment products. Also, are there any planners that specialize in Military/Vets

• Answer:

  look for a certified planner that charges by the hour. There are some "free" advisers that may steer you toward products that they sell on commission.
