One of the few people I listen to on financial matters, Ramit Sethi, has produced a great list of 10 links to walk you through today’s financial crisis — and make you smarter than 99% of other people.
I would provide you with the 10 here, but it’s best to go to Ramit’s article for his comments on each.
The crux of the issue is something I allude to on occasion and is very simple: save more, spend as consciously as possible, and concentrate on asset allocation – not on timing the market.
For more learned advice from Ramit, I suggest watching his 3-minute video answering readers’ finance questions.
