I've been splitting my paycheck into two banks, 80% weighted towards a high yield savings account (0.9% interest) and a local credit union for ATM access to cash. All of my other payments are through credit cards paid off monthly, strictly for cash back rewards. 

I have a 401k of about the same value, and some cash investments in various stocks. (Just added 1000 shares of UCO to my portfolio, woot, I'm a retail puppet!!)

But aside from visiting a financial adviser, which I am questionable about their effectiveness, any suggestions as to how to grow the wealth?

I work in the IT realm of the regulatory compliance industry so I have to manage mail from registered financial advisers. And during the course, have seen a lot of financial advisers that are flat out broke, or are way underwater on their obligations... Kind of breaks the link of trust if your adviser is $400k in debt, complaining about it, and then issuing advice. 

I also tried daytrading futures, but, that didn't work out well :)
