How does one go about finding a financial advisor?

Inundated in SF asked:


I’m at that point in life where I think I need to go over my retirement stuff with someone with far more finance acumen then I have but haven’t a clue how to find a financial advisor since I’m not wealthy and just want to make sure what I’m doing is optimal for me. My friends all seem to be using some relative of theirs and my relatives refuse to discuss anything having to do with money.

How do I choose a financial advisor?

Dawood asked:


I will soon be getting a fairly large inheritence from the death of a relative. I’m in my mid twenties, still have two years of college left, so I’ll need to get a financial advisor but I’ve heard of a lot of advisors ripping people off or not working for their best interest. How do I choose a reliable one?
