I've watched other such shows in the past and he's give the same advice just with more attitude. I'm currently watching one about a 25 year old student who's 60k in debt. She has 7 credit cards. He told her to pay off the one with the most intrest first. What? How is that good advice? Call the credit card companies and see what one will give you the best inrest rate deal and transfer as much debt as you can over to that one. I've done that a few times as a student. You can get as low at 5.59% intrestest!!! I can't beleive a fininacial advisor didn't tell her to call the credit card companies. It's flabergasting to me. It makes me wonder about his credentials in this matter. I’ve managed to catch the show just now and it’s intresting.
