Financial pointers for the 99%

Firms hire experts to teach workers financial planning

When Liz Davidson told friends 15 years ago that she was quitting her job running a hedge fund, they thought she was misguided. 

Then Davidson revealed her new career plan, and they thought she was really nuts. 

She launched a company that gives financial guidance to average Americans through their jobs. Employers hire Financial Finesse Inc. to provide group workshops and one-on-one counseling to workers on topics such as debt management, college savings and elder care.

DYI Comments:  For those of you who don't have the services of a  financial planning firm Dave Ramsey's SEVEN BABY STEPS when completed will put you miles ahead in the money game.  They are simple to understand but requires only discipline [a real desire to improve] but technical knowledge is only minimal. Hence 90% of our adult population if they so desired [big if ] could achieve financial independence.

Don't blame everything on this economic downturn most of the time it is our overspending and the use of credit cards that get us into trouble [along with student loans].

I'll give a plug for old Dave, check out his SEVEN BABY STEPS.
