You don’t have to be a complete idiot to need a little guidance in matters of finding and securing money for college. But just in case you are, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Financial Aid for College is the perfect roadmap to the financial aid process. (And it works pretty well for the rest of us, too!)

Early retirement is a topic I've always been interested in. The particular version of it that this book deals with--living well on less money, as a means to getting by without having to work at a regular job--is not only interesting, it's the life I'm living. Allowing for the fact that it's aimed right at my own personal sweet spot, I liked it even better than I expected. It reads like the author started following me around a year ago, figured out exactly what questions I needed answered, then carefully and thoughtfully wrote a book to answer them.

I read this book because I was intrigued by the 25 year-old author. By the time she was eight years old, she was earning money by operating a lemonade stand in the summer and shoveling snow in the winter. On her 10th birthday, she used the $100 of gift money she received to purchase a Government Savings Bond. At age 14, she bought her first mutual funds. Four years later, she was investing in stocks.

I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a Wise Bread book review for a while now. With an intense winter holiday right around the corner, I felt my topic was basically selected for me. When I saw the title of this one, I couldn’t dial the phone number to Harper Collins fast enough. Is this the holiday handbook I was hoping for? Read on and find out.

The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss is really three small books in one. The first thing Ferriss does is make the case that you ought to figure out exactly what you want to do, and then arrange your life so that you can do that. This is one of those ideas that is at once blindingly obvious and completely far-fetched. What else would you do? How many actually manage it? Ferriss spices these parts up with extended examples of the travel, study, and adventure that he has arranged his life around.Have more to say?
