Are You Looking For Answers About Money?

Are you looking for answers about money? Aside from the coming here for motivation, you might want to check out Mint.com.

They just added a new feature called Mint Answers – a question and answer community for personal finance. The best part is that it’s free!!

You can ask a question as well as answer questions and the community votes on the best answer given. There are lots of opinions out there but the great part about this forum is that it gives you many insights into a subject which ultimately has many different right ways to do things concerning finance. You pick the answer that is best for you and your situation.

EXAMPLE

Question: Rent or buy a home?

Best answer:

I of course like my answer better, since as this person points out, his answer only deals with the financial aspects of home ownership.ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

Most people know, even if they ignore it, that the decision to buy a home is never based on just math. Furthermore, even the part that is based on math, a calculator usually doesn’t factor in other costs associated with home ownership. (things like do you have enough in an emergency fund for example.)

With that said, the calculator is a valuable tool to use, so his answer was quite helpful. I will point out that even the website hosting the calculator says buying a house is based on more than just what that calculator will tell you.

The “REAL” Best Answer ๐Ÿ˜€

So as you will see, even the answers that aren’t considered the best still have value.ย  Personal finance is called “personal” for a reason. Everyone has different opinions and ways to manage their money. As long as you’re moving forward your plan is right, unless of course debt is helping you do so. Debt will catch up with you, but you get my point I hope.

So go check it out, and let mamster and I, along with many others help you figure out the answers to your financial questions. Don’t forget to come back to Enemy of Debt to stay motivated, and to read words and language that lenders never want you to read. answers.mint.com
