Money, Money, Money

What books on finance do you recommend? Or saving? Or spending smart? Let's talk money. I downloaded Suze Orman's "Courage to be Rich" from audible but I'm having trouble listening to it. It's starting out very touchy-feely and I guess I'm not in the mood. Some years ago I read Mary Hunt's "Cheapskate Monthly Money Makeover " which was very simple but effective in its system to get out of debt. It's out of print, but I see Mary Hunt has a lot of other books out there. That's one of the probs -- a guru comes along and suddenly there are too many books to choose from. I didn't know which Suze Orman to look at, and probably should have gone with one of the older ones instead of one of the newer (where perhaps she's looking for new ways to spin her message, instead of the basic message -- but I'm just guessing about that). So, whether it's investments or saving or getting out of debt or whatever -- what books about money have you found helpful? 31 Comments

There's no big secret to making lots of money. All you need is a product that can be made repeatedly (cheaply) and delivered cheaply (preferably automatically). Items that fall into this class are eBooks, software, and subscriptions to training courses or web sites. You can make lots of money with physical products, of course, but your costs and workload are considerably higher. I do both: the "virtual" products get handled automatically so my only costs are the web site hosting and payment handling. For the physical products I have to pay someone to pack and ship them. » POSTED IN:
