Which ones?

SPY until I had a year's worth of salary invested. From there, I had more "personal" personal finance questions (How do I treat these company stock options? How do I deal with obscure SPAC IPO while I live abroad in Asia?), so I got a real-life financial advisor person.

Honestly, was definitely worth it. Even though his fee is 1%, which all the personal finance YouTubers say is high, he's saved me over 100k with a few very key financial decisions where I almost shot myself in the face by accident.
