<prompt> Human: Hello everyone, im 25yrs old with a steady union job and roth IRA but still have alot of money sitting in my savings account. 36k to be more precise. I dont pretend to know what im talking about so thats why im here. I need help with my money, so I figured a financial adviser would do the trick. However i have read and heard bad stories about people losing or getting scammed by their advisor. So my question is, how do i find a advisor that is reliable and trust worthy?Edit: so it appears i was going down the wrong path in regards to seeking a advisor. Im going to take your guys advice the read through the side bar advice and proceed by myself. Thank you everyone for your time and advice  <response>: You probably need to do some reading more than you need a financial advisor. Start with the Prime Directive link in the sidebarwiki of this subreddit.
