Expert Financial Advice for Staying Solvent Finance expert Suze Orman shares tips on keeping your finances under control on the Yahoo Finance website: ■ Put bills on hold. Some mortgage lenders are giving homeowners a break on payments, and many states and communities are prohibiting evictions over nonpayment of rent. Citizens with student loans can withhold payment for two months. Talk to your creditors to see what they can do for you. ■ Don’t sell stocks in a panic. Yes, the stock market is down severely right now. If you have your savings there, you might be tempted to get out before things get worse. Orman advises staying the course as much as you can. In time, the market will rise again. Keep investing if possible. ■ Beef up your emergency fund. Most experts advise saving enough money for three months of bills. Try to expand that. Chances are this crisis will last a long time, and if you’re laid off or furloughed, three months may not be enough to tide you over. ■ Be reasonable with purchases. Put off buying that new smartphone or major appliance unless you absolutely have to. Conserve water and electricity as much as possible. And don’t go overboard with online shopping if you’re cooped up at home. It’s all too easy to click “buy” on something you don’t really need.
