I find most "financial planning" books to be utter BS.
I'm sure other people will have more suggestions.

Actually, there are some great financial books dispensing some great ideas and advice. I don't have much time these days but I'll try to post a list. I own about 50 of these books and lend some out to clients. If I don't get around to it, someone might send me a PM to remind me in a few days. I subscribe to Moneysense but don't even put in in my office waiting room because I don't agree with some of the advice. The books also give advice that I disagree with (such as the traditional advice on emergency funds, for example), but there are several that I really like. For anyone who is younger, Kevin Cork's tome, The Money Book, is good. I know Kevin (he lives in Calgary) and his book is very humourous. I could list several other titles but can't do that right now.
How can you say that a book of Buffett's advice is BS?
