Personal Finance Gurus

It is often said that money is easier to earn but difficult to keep. Believe it or not, this situation would seem true if you would look at the various cases of individuals who were once thought to be rich but soon lost all their money to some bad and unplanned investments. While there have been bad investments in the past and it is only an obvious thing to say that such investments will continue to happen in future also, you can definitely save yourself from such risky investments by following some basic principles in personal finance.

Every personal finance investment is a result of an advice that leads to its realization. Whether you have experienced it yet or not, it can be clearly said that we all have money but we all follow the instructions of a personal finance investor when it comes to making investment with our money. As most of the investments are a result of the advice given by personal finance gurus, it is they who are really to blame for wrong or incomplete information that often leads to problems with finances of an individual. Even though it would not be entirely correct to say that every personal finance advisor will provide you with insufficient information about the management of your funds, it is also a fact that many people like us have been a victim of the bad advice provided by so called personal finance gurus.

While offline personal finance advisors are still reliable, as they inform you about the various facts of an investment, online personal finance gurus should never be fully trusted without some research into their credentials and experience. Yes, they may claim to be someone with experience as old as the dinosaurs but have you ever wondered if their advice is really worth taking or not? Are they really that qualified to advice you on your hard earned money? Are they even genuine? How can you trust someone with your money if you have even not met him/her? There are hundreds of personal finance gurus who do provide genuine advice on the internet but there are thousands of thugs who pose to be a personal finance advisor and advice freely just so to take undue benefit of your money.

If you have just a little bit of knowledge about managing finances, you are better off trusting your own judgment than looking for an investment idea from an internet based personal finance guru. The most common example of money scams that thugs posing as personal finance advisors do is to ask their clients to invest their money on stocks of seemingly petty value. As big an information medium internet is, such advises are generally read by thousands of people who buy that stock in the hope that it will make them good returns. This leads to sudden rise in the stock which again generates a huge rise in the price of the stock and thus benefits the personal finance guru who had earlier bought this stock in huge quantities when it was available very cheap. This is just one example of how people lose their money by following some bad investment ideas.
