Its nine points: 1. Make a will. 2. Pay off your credit cards. 3. Get term life insurance if you have a family to support. 4. Fund your 401k to the maximum. 5. Fund your IRA to the maximum. 6. Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it. 7. Put six months worth of expenses in a money-market account. 8. Take whatever money is left over and invest 70 percent in a stock index fund and 30 percent in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement. 9. If any of this confuses you, or you have something special going on (retirement, college planning, tax issues), hire a fee-based financial planner, not one who charges a percentage of your portfolio. sorry, off-topic: i was wondering what people thought of the “Unified Theory of Everything Financial,” created by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams and revealed in his book Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel.
