The two authors that have helped me the most are Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman. They disagree about some things:

Dave hates credit, doesn't think you need a credit score. Suze suggests ways to boost your credit score, and thinks that's important.

Dave says to save up a 6-month emergency fund only after you pay off your debt, Suze says save up an 8-month emergency fund ASAP.

A few other smaller differences. Dave has specific steps you can take, Suze is more general advice.

I'd recommend reading them both and combining their programs into something that works for you.

Dave Ramsey's main book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Total-Money-Makeover-Financial/dp/...

Or the audiobook: http://www.audible.com/pd/Business/The-Total-Money-Makeover-...

Suze Orman's main book: http://www.amazon.com/Money-Class-Create-Future-Deserve/dp/0...

Or the audiobook: http://www.audible.com/pd/Self-Development/The-Money-Class-A...

... Also, if you like Dave Ramsey's style, he has a daily call-in radio show you can listen to for free online/stitcher/itunes
