Curious where others are going for guidance truly geared towards middle class people. Mid-40s, one kid. Own a home, both have 401ks plus we have money in Roth and brokerage accounts. And we have a 529 but college funding is still kind of a mystery.
A lot of banks have Free 1-2 sessions with a finance advisor. They give good tips.

Just to clarify— bogleheads.org not so much the Reddit site
I find the bogleheads.org site hard to navigate. Any tips?
The wiki can be a good source of info and a good place to start — see here https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page
If that seems like too much content or detail and you just want an answer to a specific question then I find searching within bogleheads.org gives you a good start on 2-3 threads (and often those threads will link to other interesting and relevant threads).
To search within bogleheads you can use google and include site:bogleheads.org or use the search function in the menu bar on the website.
Thank you, PP! This is very helpful.
