In this part . . .

I help you sift through the morass of financial resources competing for your attention and dollars. Many people who call themselves financial planners claim to be able to make you rich, but I show you how you may end up poorer if you don’t choose an advisor wisely. I also cover software and Internet resources and name the best of the bunch and the pitfalls of financial websites. Finally, I discuss how to benefit from the financial coverage in print and on the air, as well as how to sidestep the sometimes-problematic advice in these media.
