I didn't see the item you are referring to but we do watch her pretty much every Saturday night. I don't have much actual training in the realm of investments or money handling but did work 36 years in a bank, doing everything from teller/clerk to management, to personal banking, so have picked up a few things along the way. Information I mean, not money.
Anyway, from what little I know, she seems to be right on the button with what she tells people. I don't agree completely with how she says to get out of debt by paying off the largest interest rate loan/card first. I'd rather see people tackle the smallest loan first and then pick them off one by one. I think they'd be more apt to get to their goal. But if you are nervous of taking some of her advice, maybe there would be someone in your town who could look at that item and give you their opinion about it. You know, like getting a second medical opinion.
