Mary Hunt has some good books to help you get out of debt!

I'm a fan of the Suze Orman show. If Suze is as articulate in writing as she talks on TV, then I think her books are worth reading.

Honestly, I haven't read her book ...as seeing her on TV is good enough for me.

have to go for Alvin Hall - guess he is more popular in the UK but he is American so he must have written some there

I like Dave Ramsey's intensity and wit. It is inspirational and pragmatic. Some of my other picks are Thomas Stanley (Millionaire Next Door), George S. Clason (The Richest Man in Babylon), and some of Robert Kiyosaki's advice.

Suze Orman has some good ideas, but I wonder about her overall sense of objectivity since she partnered up with Fair Isaac, who generates FICO. This is the numerical score that is based on and turn determines people's creditworthiness. The fact that Orman could succumb even to the appearance of a possible conflict of interest says more about her than about Fair Isaac. This is too bad because at one time I felt that she was more trustworthy.

My favorites are Liz Pulliam Weston and "The Motley Fool". If they have also sold out to the very entities that they should be scrutinizing, I'm not aware of it.
