Hey guys,

We're in need of a financial advisor to help us do some investment planning, savings, retirement plans. I've looked around online, and come to the conclusion the best way not to end up with a scumbag is to get a personal recommendation. If anyone has any leads in the SF Bay Area, that would be great. Also, how much should I expect to pay for this service? I don't know much about this, obviously...

BTW, I won't take recommendations from anyone who hasn't been on the boards for awhile. See the aforementioned problem of looking online... astroturfing seems to be a popular way of getting business for these guys.

Thanks!
