In a recent, exclusive interview with http://www.GoBankingRates.com, top personal finance expert Dave Ramsey provides his most important advice for beginners in saving money, paying off debt, and investing.
EL SEGUNDO, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2012
Dave Ramsey, popular personal finance author and radio personality, believes most people are too hard on themselves when it comes to managing money. In his second exclusive interview with Go Banking Rates, Ramsey explains that saving money, getting out of debt trouble and investing isn’t always about having lots of money, but rather, lots of self-belief.
"Most people are over-intimidated, overwhelmed with money, they have a lot of shame, a lot of guilt, because we’ve done such stupid stuff with our money,” Ramsey tells Go Banking Rates. “And we all feel like doofuses and feel like everyone else is doing it right. We’ve got to clear all of that junk and go, okay.”
Go Banking Rates spoke with Ramsey to find out what personal finance novices should do in the following situations:
1. For someone who has never given much thought to savings, what’s the first step they should take to institute a savings plan?
2. If a person is struggling with debt, but also has no savings, which one is best to tackle first?
3. Where can a beginner investor turn to learn how to build his or her first portfolio?
Among Ramsey's responses were making saving money a top priority, using the "snowball" method of paying off debt, and treating investing as if it's a job.
