Dangmit Mouser! I was gonna mention GetRichSlowly.org lol
I learned a new one today, thanks momonan for debtproofliving.

Here's a unique method!

Start your own blog. I haven't done so yet, but I love to write, and as much time as I spend on the computer, I'd rather be making more money doing something sooo simple.

Another vote for Ace Money - very good for personal finances - not too complex to use, either.

Love Thy Spreadsheet. Aside from the good tips mentioned here, if you can get into the habit of using spreadsheets everyday (for both personal and work income / bills / planning etc) and learn some of the formulas this can really help in awareness of your spending and acknowledging how you use money.

As for soul food, if you are hunting for something that goes a little deeper, I highly recommend:
The Secret Life of Money - Tad Crawford
http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Money-Food-Soul/dp/188055951X

It's one a handful of books which 1) educates about the history and symbolism of money 2) makes you reflect on your own relationship with it and 3) it's well written.

Btw, I don't have a credit card. Only debit cards. It's tough some of the time, but in terms of enforced saving it bloody well works alright! :)

I recently found out about You Need a Budget.com, which is a blog. The guy also designed some software and came up with 4 rules which help you stop living paycheck to paycheck, budget properly, get out of debt, prepare for rainy days, and just in general save money.

Be sure to read the main page and especially the 4 rules.

MrCrispy:
What do you guys think of financial advisers? I've read that they are not worth the price because the advice they give is the same you can find yourself with research. The reason I'm asking is one of my friends just passed her exams and has become a licensed financial broker and she wants me to come in and be a client with her company.

I also registered with Yodlee moneycenter to track my net worth and pay bills. It seems to a good way to link online accounts and see them at a glance.

Check out The Simple Dollar, which has been a guide for those of us on the lower end of the income scale.
