I'm not being able to get a fee-only planner through your suggested sites. Here's the guidebook right next to my desk, it's Wade Pfau, P-F-A-U Retirement Planning Guidebook. A good certified financial planner will be familiar with this, and if you're willing to read it you'll learn an awful lot that a typical financial planner will recommend. If you still want to get a fee-only planner, and the sites that we usually recommend just for those other areas: Garrett, G-A-R-R-E-T-T. Garrett Planning Network; NAPFA, N-A-P-F-A, and then the XY Planning Network. They have a page there where you can look and see if there is a certified financial planner in your area.
