Financial Advisor

I am finally checking off a big to do on my financial housekeeping list: I hired a financial planner. I am actually working with LearnVest, which seems like a great value and I love that it's aimed at women.  I am speaking to my adviser for the first time tomorrow and can't wait to get started! I really want help trying to figure out if I should tackle the mortgage or invest, although my mom helpfully pointed out that I can do both at the same time. Again, everything in moderation. It's a hard lesson to learn, as I find I want to do something whole hog or not at all.
