My partner and I get sucked in by her television show. It's educational, sure, but it's also entertaining and relevent. Don't make me sit through the history channel or most of the news, but turn on Suze, and I'm transfixed.
Recently, Money Magazine interviewed the fabulous Ms. Orman, shedding insight into personal finance as usual but including some topics she doesn't address as frequently on her show. Some of the most interesting advice from the interview includes Suze's top tip for finding a trustworthy financial advisor. She suggests starting your meeting with a potential financial planner by telling him that you have $25k in credit card debt. How s/he proceeds -- whether s/he sets you up with a plan to get out of your financial hole or instead asks immediately how much you can invest -- will help you judge his or her credibility and character.
Another key bit of information from the interview -- be involved in your financial life! Because of our flucuating, somewhat floundering market, now it is more important than ever for individuals to maintain control and influence over their financial decisions.
