I love how everyone has their favorite Classical Mechanics text and how they are almost all very different, though Goldstein and Marion almost always top the lists.

I learned from a less established text by Taylor: http://www.amazon.com/Classical-Mechanics-John-R-Taylor/dp/1...

Looks unavailable, but a PDF is very clearly the second result on Google for "Classical Mechanics Taylor" so it may be a good option for the tight budget :)
