DAVE SAYS

Today’s Necessities

nothing wrong with having a few wants, but you should define them correctly—and never, ever put them ahead of your needs!

Dear Dave,

—Dave

Can you please define “necessities” in today’s world while trying to get out of debt and live on a budget?

How do Mutual Funds Work?

Matthew

Dear Dave,

Dear Matthew,

Who Is Dave Ramsey?

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually.

Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide.

He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

I’d like to start investing in mutual funds, but I Whether you’re talking about the world today have no idea how they work. Could you explain or 50 years ago, necessities haven’t changed. about them please?

Necessities are still food, shelter, clothing, transportation and utilities. We’re talking about Jennifer needs versus wants. The problem is that many people were never taught that there’s a differ- Dear Jennifer, ence between the two—a big difference.

First of all, don’t rely solely on my answer here.

Most people have enough food to eat and a You should never invest in anything you don’t decent place to live. Those are necessities. I’m fully understand. Before you do anything else, sit not talking about eating out or having a big, down with a good mutual fund broker, someone fancy house. Those are wants. Most people who has the heart of a teacher, who will help also have enough clothes in the closet and a you find what’s best for you and your specific way to get around town. They may not have situation and goals. designer clothes or a fancy foreign sports car, but again, those are wants, not needs. Keeping the lights on and the house warm in winter and cool during the summer? Utilities are a need.

But no one needs a $300 super-deluxe cable television package.

Simply put, a mutual fund—if it’s a stock mutual fund—is a group of 90–200 stocks. If it’s a growth stock mutual fund, then it’s a group of 90–200 growth stocks. Analysts buy the stocks they think will increase in price and sell the stocks they feel will go down in price. When the analysts buy growth stocks, it turns it into a growth stock mutual fund. If they buy bonds instead, it becomes a bond mutual fund. Several people put money into these groups, and that’s where you get the name “mutual fund.” They’re mutually funded.

Now, there are some important wants. I want you to have life insurance to protect your family. I also want you to have a will and health insurance. I want you to have some other nice things, too, like a better car or a nicer house. There’s nothing wrong, at some point, with having a few toys or eating at a good restaurant once These types of investments are much safer than in a while. But again, these things are wants, single stock investing because your money is spread across several different stocks. Plus, not needs. you’ve got people who know what they’re doing Believe it or not, very few Americans struggle picking the stocks. My advice would be to take with basic necessities. Sure, there are hungry a hard look at mutual funds that have been out people and homeless people in America. Those there for 10 to 20 years and have a good track reof us who have been financially blessed should cord for a long period of time. I have one that has want to help the less fortunate in ways that allow been open since 1934, and that kind of longevity them to get back on their feet and start provid- and stability gives me confidence that over time ing for themselves again. But most folks in this they’ll be just fine! country have nothing to whine about. There’s

Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

I interviewed a candidate last week who didn’t blow my socks off, but I thought he was worth a second interview. After the interview, he emailed me his resume, and his email was just horrible. The resume had grammatical errors, and words were misspelled. Of course now I am totally uninterested in hiring him. He seemed like a good guy, but I sure wouldn’t want him emailing any of our clients! Is there a way I can let him know that he needs to improve his sloppy communication?

-Houston, Texas Reader Actually the same thing happened to me this week. I think that many people are so comfortable with Tweeting and texting that they forget that I’m not their pal or buddy. They want to impress me in the interview, and then they just lose focus of their goals. It’s going to be hard to let him know that he buried his chances with

his ridiculous emails. If you send him a letter to say that you will not be hiring him (and you should), you can mention that written communication is a qualification for this job. Maybe he’ll get the hint. If he doesn’t understand, maybe he’ll email me, and I can tell him.

I am writing you today because I have a problem with my employer. I did some work at a horse stable for a family run business, and my employer Ms C had some problems with the work I did during the last four days I worked for them. They were supposed to pay me on the first but pushed it back until today.

When I arrived to pick up my paycheck, they informed me they were considering withholding my entire paycheck because of those days.

I didn’t break anything or damage any property. I simply wasn’t feeling up to it and was moving slowly and wasn’t able to get the work done as fast as I would have liked. Is this a valid reason to withhold all of my pay? Should I seek legal counsel? If it matters, while I was working for them some of the other workers

told me about a lawsuit that was filed against them when they refused to pay the workers for two weeks of work what should I do if they decide to withhold all my pay?

contact TWC to ask about the procedure, and let Ms C know that you have talked with them.

The business sounds slippery to me. Let me know what happens.

-Houston, Texas Reader

Do you think I honestly have a shot at getting my pay....?

Ouch. You need to notify the Texas Workforce Commission if they don’t pay you. It is against the law to withhold ANYTHING from your pay without your written permission.

-Houston, Texas Reader I’d say your chances are slim to none. These people sound like they know how to work the system, and I don’t think this is their first rodeo.

Did Ms C talk with you about your work performance at the time that it occurred? If she talked with you, and the work quality did not improve, she had the right to release you from the job, but she is obligated to pay you for the hours worked. If you were fired, they have to Have a question pay you within 6 days. If you quit, they have for Diana? to pay you on their regular pay schedule. TWC askdiana@jobsparx.com really doesn’t care about work performance as criteria because you have to be paid if you are hired to work.

I’d wait before hiring an attorney. Obviously being sued by their workers didn’t intimidate them in the past, or she would have learned a little about employment law. Go ahead and
