Hazards of Financial Advice Columnists
In "Money Talks" (8/10/16) Dave Ramsey advises that an elderly woman with $1.5 million in assets needs long term care insurance! OMG! First of all, details are lacking on her age, projected longevity, health, family situation and possible plans for how she might prefer to receive care. Futher, Ramsey fails to acknowledge the continuing problems in the LTCI industry (see other items in this blog describing the problems), including dramatically rising premiums. There was no discussion of the nuances that need to be considered before making such an expensive decision. Moral of the story: beware simplistic answers, regardless of how famous the person giving the advice. This kind of decision requires a detailed analysis of the family's finances and the preferences of the woman in question.

Totally agree with you! I didn’t expect that from David Ramsey that is one of the best financial advisors. However, some experts do not even try to give a valuable advice if they are not paid. They give a free answer for a regular question and it seems that sometimes they do not even care what they say. Really, how can he give an advice is he doesn’t know all the nuances of the situation? It’s great if a person has the money to come to a financial expert and get a good and expensive advice but people living through usa payday loans only can try to get a free help which can be absolutely senseless.

ReplyDeleteI just want to share my experience with everyone. I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy dickson. he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for only money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions.. Four days later I received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, to my greatest surprise It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $2,000 daily. ATM has really change my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address: blankatm156@gmail.com
