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

 Start with the 1 hour...Submitted by CathyHughes on January 5, 2007 - 1:24am.
Start with the 1 hour podcasts for the Dave Ramsey show at iTunes. After a couple of weeks, you'll get to learn his teachings and style. I basically find him to be a "GTD-Guru" at finances because his goal is to get rid of the stuff (debts) that we have to maintain so we can live a simpler and less cluttered life. And he does that with a time-tested, people-tested "debt snowball." Once you've experienced his teachings, you can decide how to proceed. » POSTED IN:
