Funny, but when I came to the "However" part of your post, I thought you
would question whether the guy was trying to sell products.

Someone here recommended him for advice recently, and I went to his web site
for the first time then. What you wrote was also one of my takes.

I suspect his radio show is helpful, though, if it's anything like Clark
Howard's or Suze Orman's. IIRC, Clark Howard's site gives a heckuva lot of
tips for free.

Good point. I'm sorry I missed "60 Minutes" last night. That "60 Minutes"
thought it should do a piece on one of these popular plain talking financial
gurus (here in these days of record personal bankruptcies) is great, though.
