Suze Orman
A short and sweet book on not being horribly broke for the rest of your life, with very nice real life common sense advice. Most of her advice was the usual “pay off credit cards and save for retirement” stuff, but Orman did have some interesting ideas of financing education with credit instead of student loans and other rather radical idea. A good comfort book if you are feeling poor and the future is not looking so bright that you need to wear sunglasses.
