I've worked with the same financial adviser since I was in my late 20's and we planned for my retirement when I reached 50.
The names of the investment company has changed over the years but it's now Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. He is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with.
I had a good job and worked by the hour. We would meet maybe once a year and go over everything and plan for the year ahead. The company I worked for was sold so I had to wait until I was 55 to get health insurance.
I'm 65, I retired at 55 and could not be more pleased with my financial adviser.
My wife and I both decided that we should think about retirement early. We then talked with many friends and found this man. The majority of the people I worked with are still working.
Like any occupation there are good ones and bad ones, ask around.
