No, I tried... spoke to several and auditioned them all... and largely, they concluded that without children and a desire to leave a legacy, with no stocks or existing wealth, with no massive pensions... that they don't have much to play with and can't do much for me.
They also all conceded in their own way that if I legit do have shares worth multiple significant windfalls, then just doing what I'm doing to earn that is wiser and better than to try and do something else... two of them found what I'm doing to be a "non-conventional" and "high risk" approach... but it's not like people have answers when you don't have family support, inheritance, children to think of, and it's all really just a single large income that is being burnt on a fairly high monthly mortgage cost.
Last time I tried was only a few months ago, anticipating exactly this scenario, and asking roughly this question (but less specificity on amounts involved).
