I’m curious about your experiences with wealth managers or financial advisors. How many of you use their services, and in what capacity? What new insights or value do they bring to the table?

I’m wondering if it’s worth considering, or if my current DIY approach with a mix of real estate, 401k, and stocks/indices is sufficient.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?

Would love to get insight from folks here as I’m not quite sure what to do. I currently have around 14K in student loan debt and enough saved up to pay it off in one fell swoop. What I’m struggling with is whether I should invest that money into the stock market (thinking less risky S&P 500 ETF) and pay off my student loans monthly with the average payment being around 1000 so I can pay it off in about 16-18 months (due to interest being around 5%) or pay it off all in one go?
