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?

I am also a fan...

I am also a fan of Ramsey. I went through the Financial Peace University at my church and it has really helped me.

I also read Get a Financial Life a long time ago and regularly reference it when I have questions about any financial stuff.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
