I went with a financial advisor because otherwise I know I would just leave the money in a savings account, or even worse, spend it. Working with First Command was what I needed at the time to get set up putting some money into an IRA plus some other investments every month. If you want to dedicate the time, and have the willpower to invest yourself I have no doubt you could do better, but not everyone is in the perfect situation to do that.
