Seeking Financial Planner in the City
I am looking for a good Financial planner to help figure out how to best save for our children's college. We have a good chunck of money sitting in a savings account and feel that this money could be better invested elsewhere but have no clue. We live in North Center, just north of Roscoe Village, and would like to find someone close, or someone who is willing to come to our house and talk to us.

Our Financial Planner, Todd, comes to our house. He is with AXA Financial which is located in Northbrook. We have been with him for 7 years now. We have used him for both the kids' college fund, our life insurance, our money market account. Plus we found a lawyer through him to do our wills and trust for the kids. He's a very nice guy and very helpful.
