I was just wondering, I have been at a new job just over a year now (left last job after 12+ years for this one) it has tremendous money making potential, not to mention training of an actual skill that I could use elsewhere if anything was to happen at this job which is why I had to make the move after such a tenure at the old job, but anyway back to the topic...

With the money making potential at the new job (high 5 figures, depending on how much OT I work, 6 figures is not out of the question) the significant other, is almost done with her masters degree and a possible raise at her job (also very high 5 figures) would it be bad for me to look into getting a financial adviser or read up what I can online and research my own investments etc? I do have a small savings, and an IRA I rolled over from the old job, but I just really have no idea what I should be looking for at my age or what potential my money has to earn me over time.

I am young still in my mind (30 years) but we don't have a house so I feel that should be our first priority, but I really wanna start socking money away so that it can work for me and make my later years (and hers) a good time for both of us and allow us the financial freedom to do just about whatever we want and not be worried about having money to do the simple things like take nice vacations/cruises/trips etc as we get older.

What type of suggestions, or options should I look into?

Thanks for the input.
