10. Forbes.com & Fool.com

Alright, I cheated. There are actually 11 sites on my top 10 list. But, these last two are what you need to know AFTER you get out of debt. From mutual funds to IRA’s and 401(k)’s, stocks to bonds, to real estate investing and choosing a broker or financial planner. Simply put, here you’ll find the nuts and bolts of investing. Learn about minimizing your tax burden, purchasing a home or investment property, saving for college and investing. It’s all here (but let’s work on getting out of debt first).

Now, don’t get overwhelmed. While there are a lot of resources, tools, and ‘experts’ giving advice on these sites, the ONLY goal in sharing these is to help you GET OUT OF DEBT. If you can get one nugget of useful information or a practical and applicable piece of advice that helps you save, spend less, and get out of debt – that is the goal.

Getting out of debt is absolutely possible. One important thing you must always do is CONSTANTLY be reading informative, educational, and inspiring content to continually remind you and help you along your journey to be debt-free. And let’s be honest, the best site that helps you do that, and which should be #1 on the list is: DebtResources.org
