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.
