2. I would seek out someone that has made it and ask them. "Made it" can mean highly qualified professional or someone that made money themselves.
I wouldn't ask marriage advice from someone with 6 marriages unless I wanted to know what NOT to do.

All about perspective.

Just saying, hey I've got some money I'd like to grow isn't worthy of any specific advice. All of a sudden you've got guys saying to go buy rent houses to buy bonds, to open up a brokerage account and start buying individual stocks with zero information regarding this person's specific situation. As far as financial advisors who could be selling the OP something, you're right, you have to make the right decision on who to listen to. That's why I suggested he find a trusted advisor, not some salesman who's just looking to make a buck.
