Basically pounds into your head to live below your means and invest and whatnot to be a millionaire by the time you retire (or sooner).

I remember when that came out, might even have a copy around somewhere.

And to those who don't have the book yet, but want to get started:

Step 1: get out of debt. pay that shit down.

Step 2: track your money input/output. Mike and I use Quicken. http://www.mint.com/ is free, and though I haven't used it, I've heard good things about it.

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit!

September will be:
"How to Win Friends & Influence People"
by Dale Carnegie



It's an oldie, but I've been told it's a goodie. Not sure if Mike has a copy of it already (he's got a TON of books --- and he's still in bed asleep, so I can't ask him), otherwise, I'll still have to order it from Amazon.






Any suggestions for October, guys? Honestly thinking "The Art of War," by Sun Tzu.

"The Art of War," by Sun Tzu.

Very good, but extremely repetitive.

 

[jdub]

"The Art of War," by Sun Tzu.

Required reading for military officer leadership courses

Mike says he uses its lessons often in the office.



EDIT:


Just ordered "How to Win Friends and Influence People." I think I'll stick with "The Art of War" for October.
