Question: how much do these financial advisers charge?

I've always managed my own finances and that has worked out well but that might just be lucky timing. I've always been aggressive, probably too aggressive.

So I met with a financial planner a couple times.
The news was good, He says the wife and I can retire and maintain current lifestyle/budget indefinitely. Cool.

But then he told us he works on a percentage of total amount managed, and it works out to be as much as an average house payment every month! I said no friggin way and thanked him for his time.

So I'm curious, what's the going rate, the range?

I like the idea of having someone just provide advice and tell me what I should do and how to structure, and I can do the work myself. Doan mind that. I just want the consulting exper-tease.
See what I did there? Tease?

I crack me up.
