It is funny and informative. I will never forget the part where the author mentions people buying crap out of a clothes magazine that depicts young folks out having fun on a road trip...how about saving your money instead of buying stylish clothes and take that road trip instead.

I have lots of information on what I should do but making myself so it is another matter. In this way financial discipline is a lot like trying to lose weight. I know that eating that burger and fries isn't good for me but I still want to eat it anyway:) Hi

That reminds me, preparing for a trip to Central America recently lead me to discover that my passport - with which I had traveled overseas several times - had me listed as a woman. (I'm not.) No idea how THAT happened! Yeah, it's always good to try to have some insurance that you are getting the correct information on legal documents... Finance-wise, I have found that Ramsey's book is the easiest one for most to grasp. It can make a big difference for a lot of people. It pretty much changed my parents' lives. Jerry Ha!

My problem doesn't stem with what to do...I KNOW what to do. I just can't seem to stay motivated. I'm really trying this time though, and I would love some advice on ways other people stay motivated with there are so many temptations around them.

I'd forgotten what great advice it contained. For another book that covers the basics, I'd recommend The Wealthy Barber. I just read the revised version of Your Money or Your Life.

I think "The Millionaire Next Door" is the best place to start for a financial novice who is serious about changing their life to one of prosperity and a focus on the future. It should be required high school reading so that our kids can learn that you become a millionaire by savings and sacrifice and not by wasteful spending on luxury items. I posted a quick review of the book at: http://www.twentysomethingsense.com/2009/01/book-recommendation-1.html All great books.

I wish I had know in my 20's about money, what I've learned how that I am 30. Starting young with good financial decisions is the key, I'm working my 5 year old with financial training (that may sound crazy, but I think it is important) No one wants life to suck, and bad finances can be a drain on energy, so start young, ya know!
