financial planner/counselor

[pitterwoo]

What should I look for in finding a financial planner? There seem to be different terms planner/counselor/advisor. Which one am I looking for to help with establishing household financial goals? Any certifications that are important?

I seem to have a money situation in need of tightening up.

I have no advice since I've been wondering the same things. We need financial guidance and don't know who to trust/go to.

But, I wanted to say good luck with everything. I hope you get the answers you are looking for.
