As a young professional that sticks to index investing and DIY finances, how do I know when I'm ready for a financial advisor? Is there a dollar-figure or guideline for when you should seek professional services?

I have a 401K with my employer that has high expense fees (5.75%) per fund. Can I open a no load individual IRA and roll my 401K contribution along with my employer's 3% match into it each year?

My emergency fund savings is running dry due to a large, unexpected expense. Normally I pay off my credit card bill every month, but if I do that this month I will nearly decimate my remaining savings. What's the smarter move: Pay off the credit card bill and have less cash in the bank? Or preserve my cash and pay off the credit card bill over time? I'm hoping to build my emergency fund back up, but it could take a while.
