That makes no sense to me. How good can this guys personal finance really be? And why should I be listening to him?
When my car is broke I'll ask a mechanic for advice way before I'll ask my buddy Joe.

Sly, that is certainly a fair assesment; however, a wise man once told me... "Learn from EVERYONE, even the janitor may know more than you think." What I like about this guy is that he is like most people and really gives advice to the masses based on what he encounters in his own regular pretty simple life. There are great lessons inside of that. Many "personal finance guru's" pretend that they are successful and wealthy like many in this business but in reality are full of shit. At least with this guy Trent at thesimpledolllar he is real and you know what his deal is.
