While some experts say a good rule of thumb is to hire an advisor when you can save 20% of your annual income, others recommend obtaining one when your financial situation becomes more complicated, such as when you receive an inheritance from a parent or you want to increase your retirement funds.
We re more than stocks-pickers, says Jose Sanchez, a certified financial planner with Retirement Wealth Advisors in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Before the onset of the pandemic occurred in the U.S., the savings rate was at a meager 7.5%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In July, the rate, a percentage of disposable income and a measure of the financial health of Americans, rose to a high of 18.6% but declined each consecutive month to 13.6% in October as federal economic recovery payments and unemployment benefits ended. ....
