Although if you don't know how to budget, make long term plans, be disciplined etc. the a financial advisor can probably help you.
But in terms of actual investment, my guess is most of them are poorer than you.
As I don't know too many millionaires (in USD) I tend to read books written by them, Graham's The Intelligent Investor is a good (if conservative start). The Warren Buffet Way is good, as are the annual reports of Berkshire Hathaway. Sounds like dry reading but it isn't really, Buffet is actual a great comedian and his annual reports are full of jokes.
Another good place I'd recommend to start is go to Reuters, look up a stock you're interested in, then look at all the various ratios etc. If you click on any of them it'll give you a one page description of what the ratio means, how to use it etc. I found that a great way to learn.
I'm just getting started myself. I still find property alot easier to be honest
Oh, just my two cents but now may not be the best time to buy stocks. My prediction is the US is going to get wild this year.
