1

Write down all of your monthly expenses and income and begin creating a budget before you start to seek any outside personal finance help. Documenting all of your cash flow is helpful data that an outside resource can help you with. Without a clear picture of how much you are earning and spending, a financial planner will not be able to help you. Try to gather as much information as possible including credit card interest rates and balances, mortgage details and data on any personal loans.

2

Ask a friend or family member for personal finance help if you know someone who has control of their finances. As long as you feel comfortable opening up your books to this person, it never hurts to ask someone who is close to you. Even if they cannot help you with your personal finances, they may be able to recommend a financial planner to you. Try to avoid taking advantage of this resource and treat this as a professional relationship, if possible.

3

Search the Internet for blogs and websites that can help provide personal finance help. If you are not successful with a family member or friend, then look to another free resource online. There are a ton of personal finance sites that specialize in helping people get out of debt, find the best bargains and locate the best interest rates. While these websites may not give you all the answers you need, they may offer a solution on a portion of your financial woes.

4

Hire a certified personal financial adviser to get help. If you can't get free personal finance help or advice, then it is time to turn to a professional. Personal financial advisers make a living off of helping other people control their spending and income, so this is a logical place to look for assistance. Do some research on any financial adviser you are thinking of hiring to make sure they are legitimate.

5

Attend a class or seminar that can provide personal finance help. Check out personal finance seminars that are being held in your state or county. You could also check out online courses that are set up to help people get out of debt, control their spending and become financially independent. Be sure to check out any course or materials before you purchase them to make sure they are legitimate. See if the course or materials come with any testimonials or recommendations.
