Gail-Vaz Oxlade: This woman is my hero and is the one who showed me how to manage my money. Start by getting a flavour of Gail on her shows. You can watch back episodes online on Slice (Till Debt Do Us Part remains my favourite). Then use her amazing tools to build your budget. Finally learn more through her q&a section and daily blog. There is a lot more too from Gail - this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Dave Ramsey: He is one if the gurus in the U.S. for getting people to debt free. I listen to his radio show via podcast (you can download it daily on iTunes) during my commute each day - it's interesting and I generally agree with his method. A big warning though - he's Christian and talks about god and the bible A LOT. I don't agree with his politics or life philosophy - but I find his show fascinating.
Suze Orman: I'm a recent watcher of Suze Orman's weekly show (you can download it free weekly as a video podcast on iTunes). I'm warming to her and that she focuses past getting out of debt to retirement saving and investing. I get sick if hearing her talk about living trusts and FICO scores - but you could just tune that out like I do.
Mr. Money Mustache: I'm new to discovering this site so I'm still reading through. The jist of it is that he advocates an uber-frugal existence with heavy investing in ETFs to fund an ultra-early retirement.
Canadian Couch Potato: this site has provided my model for beginning to invest. I haven't read everything as it felt over my head at first but it is very informative.
I also frequent Moneysense for fairly simple articles as well as the investing sections of the Globe and Mail and the National Post for personal finance news and articles.
