[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. No one will care for your money and your future better than yourself. You dont need to hire and pay someone else to manage your money. Get a brokerage account and do a certain amount of research and with some effort and common sense and you'll be fine on your own.

Web sites like Seeking Alpha and even Yahoo Finance can provide you with tons of investing ideas. Be an active capitalist and you just may become wealthy.

You can do it!!!!![/quote]

sry, but this is simply astonishingly poor advice on so many levels.  I agree with your instincts but regret most good cert fin'l planners do it as part of their investment mgmt practice.  i would start by asking a couple of CPAs (yours or those of friends) for advise.  I assume bulk of your assets are in Fed retirement plans..don't know what kind of planning advice they offer.  As a first step you could do worse than the free illustrations on sites of T Rowe Price and Fidelity, but know they each are biased to encouraging you to save and invest.

The issue of how much to draw on savings for a safe retirement is a hot one right now in the planning community so you'll get various answers--the reality is no one knows as so much depends on future interest rates.
