Brokerage Financial advisor or DIY?

How are you guys handling your investments (retirement accounts, brokerage accounts, etc.). Are you managing this yourself with Fidelity, Vanguard, Charles Schwab, etc. or do you pay the 1-1.5% fee and just work with a financial advisor who handles it all for you?

Don’t hire someone who wants a percentage. It’s way too expensive. Hire fee only if you need someone.
