My wife and I just got going serious on this. We both had 401k's, but that was it. We both readily admitted that we didn't know enough and this was an area where we didn't mind paying someone else to help us out. So we got a financial planner and are happier that we did.
Got started on our Roth's, fully funded them from last year, and set up disbursements ongoing for the current year. Not fully funded, but we may do one time catch up deposits towards the end of the year. If nothing else, meeting with a good financial advisor taught me a ton about how investing works.
