What are some good resources for financial planning and investing? 

Anita, VA 

Dear Anita: 

First off, you’re not alone in this question. Many of my clients have asked for resources on learning how to invest the money they are saving. While discussing with several millionaires their favorite magazines for keeping up with such issues, SmartMoney magazine by the editors of the Wall Street Journal was mentioned as a favorite along with Money Magazine. 

One wealthy financial planner told me, “I have been interviewed by both Money Magazine and SmartMoney and I was WAYYYYY more impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the SmartMoney reporter. Money is good, but I think SmartMoney is a notch up.”
