Financial Experts …
Now days it seems we are all searching for more personal finance knowledge. For some of us it is to increase our wealth. For many more it’s guidance in debt reduction. An easy an economical way to get started on your quest for knowledge … is to visit the websites of some renown financial experts.
There really is no shortage of “financial expertise” out there.
These experts all have different personalities & styles and best of all a ton of excellent information & ideas. What’s really cool is you should be able to connect with at least one-out-of-the-bunch that fits your situation. And he or she will hopefully inspire you on your personal financial journey!
The Financial Experts:
- Dave Ramsey is probably the most well known in inspiring debt reduction. His book The Total Money Makeover has changed the lives of many, many, people. He is known for coining the phrase gazelle intensity when speaking about working towards eliminating personal debt. I think a lot of people like him because he has such a no situation is hopeless attitude … which gives many inspiration to start moving forward.
- Jean Chatzky is a busy lady! Most of us would probably recognize her from her appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show. But as her website states … she is also a best-selling author, award winning journalist, and a motivational speaker. Jean has a common sense approach that many of us need to hear. Which gets us out of denial & on the right path.
- Larry Winget is one of my favorites because he is just a big old reality check … they call him the pitbull of personal finance. He is incredibly smart with a stop making excuses and do-it style. Larry can be seen on the television programs Big Spender & The Millionaire Inside. He is also a motivational speaker and best-selling author. Here is a partial list of some of his books: You’re Broke Because You Want To Be, It’s called Work For A Reason and his latest one - People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It!
- Suze Orman was the first personal finance guru that caught my attention. She motivated me to get my family’s financial budget in order. I like that she has a people first … then money … then things … way of looking at life! She has a ton of books out there that could probably be found at most public libraries. She also has a nightly show on CNBC in which people ask her personal finance questions.
So there’s a short list of some of the financial experts we have to guide and teach us.
There are lots more … a Google search of financial experts brings up 10,700,000 hits.
The thing is to find a source that inspires YOU!!!
