YOUR FAVORITE FINANCE GURU
Suze Orman
Dave Ramsey
Actually I like both a lot. They both have great ideas and methods. I'm very weary of credit cards,and so is Dave. I also like Suze's Snowballing method which is pay off your highest interest accounts first, as opposed to Dave's which is smallest amount first.

I, too, second that. "Hey Girlfriend!" sounds like it should be coming from a "watch me talk" Barbie rather than a financial guru.

I think Dave is good for folks who are really in trouble. Following his advice will certainly help even if it isn't always the best solution. His debt snowball method is based on psychology rather than finance since it isn't the method that saves you the most money. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with his "no credit card" view as I happen to think that credit cards are very valuable financial tools and folks just need to learn to use them properly.

simplyme, as my daughter says, the segment shouldn't be called Can I Afford It? but rather Should I Afford It?
Just because somebody has a lot of money doesn't mean that what they are buying is a responsible use of their money.
