Episode Details

What's the best financial advice you've ever received? Not the trendiest tip or the hottest stock pick; what’s the wisdom that actually holds up over a lifetime? That's exactly the question Diane Harris, Deputy Editor of Kiplinger, put to 35 of the most trusted voices in personal finance…and the answers are as practical as they are profound.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "spend less than you make" is still the foundation of everything, and what Jean says happens when you don't
• Peter Lynch's "elevator pitch" test for any stock you own (and why most people fail it)
• Teresa Ghilarducci's one-date-a-year rule for protecting yourself from panic-selling
• Why Christine Benz says paying off your mortgage early makes sense, even if the math says otherwise
• Diane’s number one personal finance tip she learned from taking care of her mother
