I read Weston's articles on MSN all the time. Thanks for asking her about things that apply to every one (not just the newly married). Great interview! I read Weston’s articles on MSN all the time.

As this interview says, you can ask it in terms of simplifying your finances. But you can also ask it in other areas of money to help you make financial decisions. For example, before making a big purchase, you can ask yourself "what's the worst that can happen from this". This helps put in perspective how much you need the purchase compared to how much trouble it can get you in with debt. Just stopping to think about this on a regular basis can really make you focus on how you really want to deal with finances. “What’s the worst that could happen?” is a terrific question to ask when dealing with financial things.

Still, Liz Weston is one of the better PF gurus, IMO. Genuine personal finance adage shouldn't be anything earth shattering... they should (one day) be common sense.

Good sound advice but nothing earth shattering. My wife and I are very organized with our finances and reading these kinds of books, while encouraging, doesn't seem to change our methods.

All in all, Liz provides a systematic way to organize your finances (i.e. electronic access to bank/checking accounts so you can take advantage of online bill pay) so that you can attend to other aspects of your life. There are no earth-shattering financial revelations in this book, but Liz provides a detailed and understandable plan for you to follow. From a financial standpoint, although I'm already doing many of the things Liz discusses in her book, it's reassuring to know that I seem to being doing things the right way.
