Get Your Money Right
Finances are important. If you’re not working on yours and putting systems in place to help you eliminate debt, boost your savings, and prepare for retirement, then WHAT are you waiting for?
Personal finance is a hugely popular topic on the net and there are guys much more qualified than me who I look to for a little guidance from time to time. Three in particular stand out:
1. Ramit Sethi – Ramit is the author of the highly popular finance blog and book of the same name “I Will Teach You To Be Rich“. He is very good at getting you to think about the big picture. In other words, you don’t have to give up your Starbucks to save more but when is the last time you tried to negotiate savings on your regular bills like cable, cell phone, etc.? He’s currently writing what is sure to be an outstanding series on making more income in your free time.
2. J.D. Roth – The man with the peculiarly appropriate name for the topic tackles finance regularly on “Get Rich Slowly“. He and his staff writers put up new articles that constantly have me engaged and thinking about some aspect of my finances that I may have overlooked. Very intriguing stuff and worth adding to your blog reader.
3. Dave Ramsey – I’m a new listener to Dave’s podcast, but I’ve enjoyed it so much that I picked up a copy of his book and I haven’t been sorry. I’m looking forward to having my own Total Money Makeover this year. He has very simple but very powerful advice that anybody can follow as long as they put a little bit of effort into understanding their financial goals. Not to mention baby steps and guidelines that will virtually help you make decisions about money in any situation.
Money isn’t everything but it is important. It can make your other personal development goals a lot easier if you have your money situation squared away. Take a look at the advice these fine mentors have to offer and create a plan for yourself and your family to follow.
