Did you ever want to be a personal-finance advice columnist? Well, here's your chance.

In Money's "Readers to the Rescue" department, we publish questions from readers seeking help with sticky financial situations, along with advice from other readers on how to solve those problems. Here's our latest reader question:

> *We feel guilty about it, but we'd like to replace the financial adviser we've had for 30 years. How do we tell him and do this with the least anguish?*

What advice would you give? Fill out the form below and tell us about it. We’ll publish selected reader advice in an upcoming issue. (Your answer may be edited for length and clarity.)

Please include your contact information so we can get in touch; if we use your advice in the magazine, we'd like to check with you first, and possibly run your picture as well.

Thank you!
