Q & A with Suze Orman ..

from CNNMoney, this is an interesting thought she offers as is the one that follows it at the end of the Q&A about how applying financial common sense could have prevented the "mess" we are currently in.

"Q. All right then: How do you find an adviser you can trust?
A. The best ones tell you right up front how they make their money, and they'll ask you something besides "How much do you have to invest?" Want to find a good adviser? Go into his office and tell him you have $25,000 in credit-card debt. See how he responds. A good one will say, "Let's set up a plan to get you out of debt and only then, when you're out of debt, will we put you into some good investments." That's how you'll know if they want to help you or only make money off you."
