The three rules to follow are great. One can also follow a budget to control spending and aim to pay off all debts to be financially secure during this economic crisis.

There will be at least 200 smaller banks that will need government assistant or will be acquired by larger entity due to credit crisis or simple market competition. There are no losers without winners – stronger banks will survive and will only benefit for this crisis by acquiring larger portions of markets.
Saving is always a good idea, investing in something that will bring you money back is even better. Despite weak economy, now is a good time to invest and the key to good investments is making sure you are insulating yourself from things that can hurt you. Invest in equity funds such as stocks and mutual funds, bonds or as simple as High Yield CD’s.

Jack & Joe -

This isn’t just Aaron who says this. Would you accept these words if you knew they came from Jack Bogle, the founder and former chairman of Vanguard?

Dollar cost averaging, staying the course with a long-term investment plan, determining your willingness to accept risk and allocating your assets accordingly, diversification, keeping your investment costs low — these are all very sound pieces of advice.

You don’t have to believe me though…

Great article! I love that you brought it all back to the 3 rules of personal finance – it doesn’t matter what your lifestyle or risk threshold is – these 3 rules still apply.
You are right on Aaron!

Attempting to sum up his book “The Future of Capitalism”, Professor Lester Thurow Says: “Since World War I The US has had four financial crashes, eleven recessions and one great depression. The intrinsic problems of capitalism are visible at its birth: instability, rising inequality, a lumpen proletariat (the decrease in work force) are still waiting to be solved . . . I suspect that if every newspaper in the world tomorrow were to have the headline Globalization Ends, I think far more than half of humanity would feel relieved.”

I don’t think Aaron knows about personal financing. Personal financing is that personal. People choose what it is best for them. There are risky people who like to gamble their money and be rich, there are conservative people save dimes and when inflation hit, they die. People who think the golden rules they learned wherever apply, they don’t. You work based on the dynamic of what is not only any set of principles that you’ve accustomed to.

Seriously, does Aaron know what he is talking about?
