That's a very smart thing to do.

It's mostly just common sense things, and holding yourself accountable for the money you spend frivolously.

LifeHacker also has some good finance tips here and there. It's also nice to set up a Mint.com account to see where your money goes, and set alerts for when you go over a budget.

Dave Ramsey is a genuinely good man who does so much good for America by reminding us to be decent responsible productive solvent and frugal. And I can scream "I'm debt free!" No mortgage debt, no car loan debt, no student loan debt, no personal debt, and a zero credit card balance.
