Question: My family is facing great difficulty in our finances as we have lost jobs. Can you please suggest some ways for how to get out of Credit Card Debt?

Answer: This is a becoming a difficult situation with all the easy credit that credit card companied loaded into consumers. Here are some suggestions:

  • One of the things that come to mind whenever someone mentions that they are having some financial concerns is the fact that they probably have an overwhelming amount of credit card debt.
  • Finding out how to get out of credit card debt is not as hard as it may seem but many people seem to panic as soon as they are unable to stay afloat and end up doing the worst things possible in trying to help themselves.
  • Most people fall into the traps of credit cards innocently enough and the majority of people start out thinking that it is only a few hundred here and a few hundred there and then they are in over their heads before they know it.
  • Understanding how to get out of credit card debt is first done by taking a look at where one really stands with their situation. A lot of people end up losing sight of what they really owe because they end up ignoring the problem until it grows so out of control that they are forced to find a way to get out of credit card debt.
  • While it may seem like a scary and never ending situation, it is important to know that it is not the worst thing that can happen and there is always a solution. Just what that solution is based on your particular situation and how deep in debt you really are.

Hello there, this is Perez from San Jose, and I am supply chain manager, and we are having a touch time with business in California. I had existed my stock market investments when the stocks started falling in 2008.  Looks like it was a good decision as all the stocks are now available at less than 50% prices! What I am not sure is, how can retail investors invest in current stock markets? Thanks.

Answer: Here’s a video by Cathy Pareto, founder of Cathy Pareto & Associates, certified financial planner, in Miami, Florida. How to Buy Stocks on a Budget

Her logic is of investing through a large mutual fund so that you don’t get exposed to any company specific risk, which will be in plenty during weak economic times.

Hi, I am an investor based in the USA, and am wondering if this is a good time to buy stocks? Do you think the stock markets have bottomed out? Can one take small buying positions now, or is it better to wait? I would appreciate thoughts from any US investors in the audience.
Thank you, Steve
