Default Financial "Gurus"

What personal finance "gurus" do you listen to or read? I love Dave Ramsey's radio show. I also like David Bach (Start Late/Finish Rich) and Suze Orman. What about you?

I am not a big fan of the Rich Dad series.

I know there are dangers in following one guys advice entirely without educating yourself. That is why I am looking for other good books.

We are big fans of Suze Orman and I really like Mary Hunt's no nonsense approach. Ric Eldeman (sp) has had some interesting books as well, but I don't follow everything. I enjoyed the book "The Millionaire Next Door" as well.

I too enjoyed The Millionaire Next Door, as well as the follow-up book The Millionaire Mind.

I really enjoy listening to Dave Ramsey's TV show, as do my kids for some reason(?). Funny story, last night my 5 year old daughter came up to me and said she had to tell me a secret. She whispers in my ear "Dave Ramsey is awesome!" I had to laugh........

I have read The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach, that was good.

I can't stand Robert Kiyosaki.

I can't listen to or watch Suze Orman.

My favorite book by far is The Richest Man in Babylon. I have loaned that book out so many times I have lost count.
