Suze Orman hsa some good stuff for those just starting out!

The "Net Worth Workout" by Susan Feitelberg is a fairly new one. It's a good book with solid advice for beginners, and even non-beginners can get some great ideas, reminders, and motivation.

A really super-duper bonus is that this book is currently being offered as an on-line book club from Barnes & Noble (www.barnesandnoble.com / click on the Book Club Link, then click on Money & Careers Book Club), so you can interact directly with the author! She is a Financial Adviser with JPMorgan Chase, and so I think the Book Club is a tremendous opportunity. [It's completely free.]

Thanks! I was just going to post this question.

I just finished reading Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. I am not sure I will follow his play 100%, but he really motivated me to start paying down my car and school loans (I don't have any CC debt).

We've had this one before, but it is always fun to see what others like to read.

Debt-Proof Living - Mary Hunt (my favorite; straight forward and easy to understand; a real "plan" you can follow instead of just random advice)

Smart Women (or Couples) Finish Rish - David Bach

The Automatic Millionaire - David Bach

Richest Man in Babylon - ???

NON -FINANCIAL:
The "in death" series by JD Robb
"Harry Potter" series by JK Rowling (I must like authors who use initials!) *grin*
I love reading my daughter's children's literature! Right now we are reading "Inkspell" by Cornelia Funke. Seems to be so many more great children's books these days than when I was growing up.
If you like children's lit, I have got many more I can recommend!

How about motivational books?

[LuxLiving]

oooooohhhhhh children's lit - try The Gammage Cup.

Richest Man in Babylon is by George Clason - a favorite of mine.

I think that The Wealthy Barber was good. The Richest Man in Babylon is also a good read. It motivated my unsaving husband to start setting money aside. I also liked All Your Worth by Elizabeth Warren and her daughter. I am currently reading Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vidi Robin. Just picked it up yesterday.
