Where to learn good strategies for personal finance / investing?

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Jo Man asked:

I read Personal Finance for Dummies and it was a great book, it covered the basics quite well and got me on the right track. Now I’m looking to get a bit more advanced.

Just to be clear, I’m not looking to become a professional money manager – I know it’s an enormous topic, and while it’d be great if I knew everything in the world, there’s only so many hours in the day

I just want to go a bit beyond the basics and know enough so that I can better evaluate what my broker tells me, develop some longer-term strategies, and that type of thing. Any recommended magazines to subscribe to, books to read, websites to visit, and things of that nature would be ideal.

Thanks!

What do you do when a finance company hounds you because your a personal reference for someone who didn’t pay?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

me24 asked:

Someone I hardly know used me as a reference when financing a car and now he has not paid in months. I did not give him permission to use me as a personal reference and now they are calling me constantly to get in touch with him. I don’t even know his phone number! Can people just use any old name and number as a reference for a car these days? How can I get my name taken off his application? They say theres nothing they can do until he contacts them!

What happens to loans and line of credit if my company goes under?

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Sung C asked:

I have a company line of credit and a company credit card. The business was terrible and i am forced to go out of business. I am the personal guarantor of the debts. What would happen to those debts and how would it effect my personal finances if my business goes under? Thank you for you help in advance.
It is an S-Corporation and the debt never shows up on my personal credit report because it is considered company debt.
