Yo, thanks for the plug!
Hope Richest Man in Babylon makes the cut on your reading list…it was a super first PF read!
WH: I will definitely check out the book you mentioned. It has some good reviews on Amazon.com.
I am trying to avoid any book that says it can teach people to become a millionaire because they are just so unreal. There are probably millions of such books, but how many millionaires are in this country? I prefer books that teach people fundamentals and let people get better. Though some of the be-a-millionaire kind of books do that as well, I just don’t feel very well about the title.
You definitely have a point about their titles…I generally avoid “get rich quick” titles as well, but I usually check the book’s reviews on Amazon to decide.
I used the gift certificate to get “Investing for Dummies,” a copy each for my mom & a friend. My own copy has been checked out from the library for months. Not that you need it, but I’d recommend the book as a great primer to an investing fledgling like myself…thanks again! =)
WH: Glad to know that that little money can be of good use. Buying a good book is definitely a good investment,
