My Top 7 Disagreements With Personal Finance Experts
By GUEST AUTHOR - Last updated JANUARY 23, 2017
[Hey guys! Have a feisty one for you today from fellow blogger ERN at EarlyRetirementNow.com. Some of these you may disagree with, as do I (no emergency fund? Blasphemy! ;)) BUT I always love hearing other peoples’ perspectives, and Ern here can surely put up a convincing fight.

Frank26: WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE BUDGET ON YOUR LAST 3 CC'S?.............
