The personal finance world is chock full of helpful advice, money tips and a ton of expert knowledge. Much of this knowledge comes from bloggers and what I call personal finance deities. If you have any sort of penchant for personal finance, I am sure you have heard of Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman.

However, I do respect that Dave Ramsey has been at the bottom so he can speak from experience. I do feel that you have to have balance between the two.
