I would make sure your company match is met in 401(k), then max out a Roth IRA for both you and your wife, max out your 401(k), then put whatever remaining in index funds, in that order. |

If you feel like you are going to be into mostly low cost mutual funds or ETFs with investing, I'd just manage that yourself and re-balance maybe twice a year to keep within whatever risk you are comfortable with. If you plan to mix in quite a bit of individual stocks or make quite a bit of moves, a financial planner might be an option but I'm not sold that they get you ahead since you have to pay them a percentage of what you are making. If you plan to work quite a bit longer I'd manage much of that myself and get a financial planner later is your feel uncomfortable with how large your assets become over time. |
