Sit down with your Edward Jones guy! We did that last week and it was quite enlightening.
Wow, sadly mine did not make the list.
Lauren – you beat me to it.
I’d add clearcheckbook.com to the list. You can text in ledger entries.
I would also add the “widely popular website” http://www.JoeSangle.com for all eaasy to use downloadable tools for budgeting, debt calculation, etc. I like most of his stuff better than Dave Ramsey though Dave gives a great foundation!
Guessing at the traffic levels that this site likely experiences, you may want to consider throwing a couple ads our way. Knowing that you could use a little extra cash, I’m sure most of us wouldn’t mind a google ad or two. It won’t solve any cash problems, but 20 minutes of setup could net you a few hundred a year (of passive income) … give it some thought.

I, too, vote for my friend Mr. Sangl and his site. Top notch.
Thanks for including me in your list!

I based much of my debt management from Dave Ramsey’s general outlook on the subject. It was the most basic and align with my gut sensibilities. Clark Howard is a great “tips and tricks” kind of guy who has some decent connections to finding good deals http://www.clarkhoward.com. When you’re ready for investing I’d recommend checking out Clark’s recommendations for no load funds. I think Mint.com has a really slick tool to replace Quicken but I don’t regularly connect with their blogs. But that’s me. Only me.
This website http://www.zilchworks.com will help you build a personalized plan to get out of debt once and for all. They also have a free program called Credit Card Math, a free debt management tool chock full of financial advice to help you get out of debt.

Being a newlywed with a decent chunk of change left to pay off in student loan debt (still less than the national average though, which is scary), I’m always on the lookout for financial tips, especially in terminology I can easily understand. Here’s a list of some sites and resources that have been pushing us in the right direction: Dave Ramsey, The Simple Dollar, Get Rich Slowly, Wise Bread, Mighty Bargain Hunter, Lazy Man and Money, and The Sun’s Financial Diary. If you know of others, please comment it up.
