This week, my morning roundups are going to focus exclusively on specific personal finance writers. I’ve searched around the blogosphere researching these writers and the takes that others have on them and found a number of good ones.

Today I’m looking at Suze Orman, author of a pile of personal finance books and known to many for her programs on PBS and on CNBC on personal finance issues. She’s a bit brash for some, but her advice is often spot on.

Suze Orman On Saving For College Nickel catches a key point here that many people gloss over in her advice: get your own finances well in order before thinking about saving for your kid. (@ five cent nickel)

The Ant, The Grasshopper, and Suze Orman This interesting post retells the fable of the ant and the grasshopper, ties it into personal finance, and mixes in Suze. (@ diy planner)

Suze Orman Retro: How To Take Control Of Your Credit Cards A wonderful collection of advice on how to get credit card debt under control.
