I have enjoyed reading a few personal finance books, especially some recent books on investing for retirement. One book I read recently that I highly recommend (as have others here) is "I Will Teach You to Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi. It's quick read and has some great, easy to implement advice.
Voraciously. From the Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn to All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi. As long as it isn't David Ramsey or Suze Orman.
If I want to purchase meat, I know where to find the store to buy it, or better yet, a
farmer with a corn fed beef, hauled in, butchured, USDA inspected, vacumn packed,
and I know how to haul it refrigerated and kept cold. Thus, I know what I am feeding
myself and my family. I do not like it when someone comes here trying to sell something to me that I know nothing about. I mean it could be horse meat, I don't have
any way of knowing, it could be stolen, it could have been mismanaged, contaminated,
all sorts of things. No, I am not buying from a truck coming to my home. No thank you
and I would like to direct others to do the same for their safety.
When it comes to meat, this is a very serious thing. It could mean you life.
Please, be safe, that is all I ask. And these poor elderly that are being taken advantage
of is a shame. One man recently wrote a 900.00 check for a freezer and meat and he
didn't even have that in the bank. His daughter had a terrible time getting this straightened out. Why don't these people leave other people alone. If we want to buy
something, we certainly know where to go. I don't like people on the telephone trying
to sell things to me I don't want either. I also, don't think we should have to pay postage for the sells papers in our orders we don't request.
Great idea! I occasionally let others read emails before sending them out but typically that is if I represent a group and don't want to misspeak for other people. But I could see how a short deadline wouldn't allow you to be reflective or objective about the email so getting a friend involved could be very helpful.
I just finished reading "I Will Teach You to Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi. It's a great book about finance basics for beginners. I also read "The Four-Hour Work Week," which isn't really about your finances, but it teaches you to rethink your 9-5 job, and what wealth means to you. Loved both books and highly recommend it to all.
I have read the personal finance book, "Spend Well, Live Rich" by Michelle Singletary. It was entertaining and included some good, hard, common-sense personal finance advice.
I've read personal finance books and the most helpful was Smart couples finish rich by David Bach. It helped my husband and I (early in our marriage) learn how to talk to one another. 11 years later we are still talking. Currently I find The Simple Dollar website the most helpful in terms of personal finance and MSNMoney in terms of economic news. When people ask, I suggest all three.
I occasionally read personal finance books (Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey, etc.), but I get most of my info from websites and magazines (WiseBread, Kiplinger's, and so on).
This is related to letting the email sit, but if I have to send a really important message that needs to go out on a short deadline, I'll often ask a friend to look it over first -- and do the same for others.
Yes, I definitely read personal finance books I've read quite a few by Glinda Bridgforth Suze Orman Farnoosh Torabi and Jean Chatsky So far I think all their books have pretty good advice
I have read and re-read two. The first is "The Millionaire Next Door" and the second is "250 Personal Finance Questions Everyone Should Ask." Both books are dated, but when I am yearning for something extravagent or I just need to refocus on my financial goals they are the prefect remedy to get my head back on track.
I don't read personal finance books. Too boring, and a lot of the info doesn't pertain to my life. I like to read blogs and forums, where I'll get a few different views.

the wealthy barber is an easy read to start
I've read some books on personal finance in the traditional sense but have gleaned more knowledge from Jeff Yeager's "Cheapskate" books.

I really don't. I always feel like I ought to, but I'm really just getting by and I think personal finance books would just make me feel guilty.
Yes I do read pf books but I really prefer to read pf blogs.

i did before but not now. i am wanting to start reading about investment though.
Yes, I read personal finance books, but I also get a lot of info from magazine articles and off of the web.
Th"The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Samuel Clason. Classic, good and true.

Yes, Suze's books are my favorite!

Yes! I've read JD Roth's book as well as Ramit's, which I didn't enjoy.

No, I never have, but I watch Suze Orman every Saturday!
I read a lot of financial books. One of my favorites was Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. Another good one is The Money Class by Suze Orman.

I have read several personal finance books, but I mostly read blogs now.

no, I just don't have the time. I tend to read articles and follow blogs instead.
