Unless your financial advisor is rich from investing themself then no, DON'T talk to a financial advisor. All they will do is try and sell you stuff to get comission. Seriously just learn about it yourself. My favourite book is "The Richest Man In Babylon" and it a phrase similar to yours: Don't go to a plumber to get bricklaying advice, go to a bricklayer, so don't get advice about your money from someone who isn't rich himself. Now if your financial advisor is rich, what is he doing working for you?
