This was exactly my DH experience, except the financial planner wasn't even OK. He was a sales guy masquerading as a "financial planner" and wanted to sell us everything under the sun. If you choose to go to the financial planner make sure you check out his/her experience and credentials very carefully, educate yourselft, be skeptical and ask a lot of questions.

I highly recommend seeing a financial planner, a CFP !! Though I now have a job with the local county government, I did "retire" from my corporate job & sought financial advice. In fact, I spoke with 5 different firms, and I recommend doing that. Never did I feel I was being sold anything. Each firm spent at least an hour with me. But each one asked different questions, had a different perspective on money, and gave different advice. It was an incredible learning experience for me! I learned so much about money, but also myself - what my priorities are, how I want to live my life, what money-management style fits me best. So yes, talk to someone. Talk to more than one!
