Welcome NVLong! You've come to the right place.
Ut oh, I'm surprised your full-service broker gave you such sage advice without trying to sell you junk bonds or an annuity or two.
My first suggestion to reduce costs would be to transfer your account to an online discount brokerage. Which one? You can start your research here on this forum. Of course, this assumes your full-service broker isn't your wife, girlfriend, mistress or a blood relative.
We're all ears ... ask away. Oh, and look in our resource section also.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
