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

Dave is a really GREAT influence for me and my family. I've had the pleasure of listening to a talk and meeting him personally, and what I'm most impressed by is that Dave is exactly what Dave appears to be. Heart on his sleeve, No B.S., just straight shooter. You don't have to agree or subscribe to his religious beliefs to get the benefit of what he talks about. He reminds me of my scoutmaster, an Ex-Marine Mechanic. Not pretty, practical, down to earth, loves the hell out of you, and isn't afraid to say "what the #$Q^^QRE are you doing?!?" My $0.02 /J P.S. I'm sure Suze is good, but I have to third the motion, UGH. I find her presentation saccharine, oozing, and very touchy. Mechanics of her stuff seem fairly sound though, but just not right for ME personally. » POSTED IN:
