Money, Money, Money

What books on finance do you recommend? Or saving? Or spending smart? Let's talk money. I downloaded Suze Orman's "Courage to be Rich" from audible but I'm having trouble listening to it. It's starting out very touchy-feely and I guess I'm not in the mood. Some years ago I read Mary Hunt's "Cheapskate Monthly Money Makeover " which was very simple but effective in its system to get out of debt. It's out of print, but I see Mary Hunt has a lot of other books out there. That's one of the probs -- a guru comes along and suddenly there are too many books to choose from. I didn't know which Suze Orman to look at, and probably should have gone with one of the older ones instead of one of the newer (where perhaps she's looking for new ways to spin her message, instead of the basic message -- but I'm just guessing about that). So, whether it's investments or saving or getting out of debt or whatever -- what books about money have you found helpful? 31 Comments

Pooks - I think you need to be more specific in your question - of course I know you are just spurring conversation, but really, money is such a diverse subject that just throwing out anything is not going to get anywhere. There are so many books about money that I think the best approach is to really determine what your goals are over the long term and then read the things that you need to have you achieve those goals. For example if I am a newly minted college grad, I don't need to be reading about investing, until I get my a** out of debt. What if we start over with some categories: Getting out of Debt » POSTED IN:
