This was the first book I ever read on finance. I like her Freedom account and her budgeting style. Those yearly expenses won't be a surprise anymore because you will be putting 1/12th of the payment away monthly.
The way she explains budgeting is very simple~ in no way over complicated.
Her Rapid Debt-Repayment Plan is a very practical way to pay off debt! Her writing style is fun. She's been $100,000 in debt and dug out and her book explains how.

Nothing here is new. If you have ever lived on the "college student budget" you know how hard it can be to make ends meet and STILL save. I had this problems and I read this book a bit too late after I solved the problem, but its still great advice. I DO believe Suze Orman has more of a punch to her writing style and may be better / more fun to read. Ms. Hunt focuses on a long term approach to not really getting rid of debt, but not having it in the first place. There aren't many creative ways to go about this. You either need to make more money, or cut expenses. Thats the bottom line. Well, another bottom line is to never spend more than you make, and you're good to go. Suze Orman suggests a 8 month emergency savings fund as well. Good book though.
