Personal finance expert Suze Orman now says those with little or no savings need to build an emergency fund first.
On "The Oprah Winfrey Show" April 2, 2009: She had this to say:
"If you have an unpaid credit card balance [and] not much saved up in emergency savings, I need you to listen up. My advice has changed. I want you to only pay the minimum due on your credit card balance, and instead, make it your top priority to build as much of an emergency cash fund as you can."
