Book Review Tuesday: [Insert Title Here]

My plan was to review Smart Couples Finish Rich, but I’ve managed to lose the book either in my office or my apartment.  I will have to look around for the book because I was looking forward to reading it.  If I can finish the book this week, I will start back up with more [...]

Book Review: The Wealthy Barber

I’m never sure how much to write about the books that I read.  Part of me loves sharing the key points, but another part of me wonders whether I’m giving it all away.  Well, The Wealthy Barber, Updated 3rd Edition: Everyone’s Commonsense Guide to Becoming Financially Independent was a solid book that really gave another [...]
