The post-election Honeymoon is over.

And now it’s time to ask yourself: At the end of this financial nightmare (and there will be an end) will you be left holding a shovel or the golden key to prosperity?

Use PeopleJam’s thousands of reviews to find out what works and what doesn’t from hundreds of the most popular Money, Savings and Career products on the market.

Swedegirl1984 raves of Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Make Over: “After having finished college, with over $80,000 in student loan debt and 3 credit cards to pay off, I…decided to read Dave Ramsey's book…At a time when I was really hopeless about finances, Dave's book helped me to get my financial issues in order, or at least start me on the process to get there. It hasn't even been a year yet, and I can happily say I have 2 of those 3 credit cards paid off!”

While Chrysnblue writes of the great How-to-Website, BetterBudgeting.com: “BetterBudgeting.com is another great tip site that provides calculators, frugal living tips, personal finance tips, and much more…great for those wanting to find a good read on personal finance or budgeting!”

And get tons of great saving advice from one of our many exclusive PJ blogs. As one PJ Reader discovered in Momo’s 7 Ways to Live Effectively Within Your Means: “Being able to "visually grasp exactly where your hard earned money is going" has done wonders for me. Great tips! You realize just how many unnecessary things you buy on impulse.”

I like that this blog gave me other resources and blogs to explore to help me with my money woes. Like Swedegirl1984, I've got tons of school debt not to mention pesky credit card bills. I've heard other good things about Dave Ramey's books and will check one of them out.

I'm drawing out my last few credit hours as long as possible to put off my student loans just that much longer.

Good comments and recommendations. This blog makes me want to explore PeopleJam for more financial information. I thought the links in the article were also helpful. I, like the writer, am also fighting my way out from student loan debt.
