I have a goal to read two books a month in 2006. It’s something that I’ve never had the time to do… but now with the amazing technology of the Treo and downloadable audio books from audible.com… I do.
The book I’ve now started is eboys. I think I’m going to love it, but am a bit disapointed with the language. There are times when necessary not necesary to curse… and Randall Stross doesn’t hold back… at all. Other than that, though.. the book is filled with stories of unlikely success. The kind that goes against the statistics. I’m in to that.
I realized today that Books are wonderful. The only problem is that they end. Sitcoms are great because they continue for a long time. Well, except the ones that I fall in love with. Books can’t be cancelled… it seems that no matter what you’re looking to read, it’s around somewhere on Amazon.com.
I’m rambling. Probably because I’m exauhsted. So anyway, I’ll let you know how eboys goes. It’ll be book number three for 2006.
Oh! I forgot… the whole reason I wanted to write this post was to recommend the book Total Money Makeover, by Dave Ramsey. It offers a great way to generate wealth and payoff debt. Dave is a multi-millionaire who made millions, went bankrupt, and made millions again. It’s a neat story. He actually shares some of the concepts that were in Millionaire Next Door, but without the "you can’t ever spend any money on anything cool… ever… that’s right… EVER" attitude. I’m not a fan of Millionaire Next Door… as I stated in an earlier post.
Bub, just wanted to say thanks for spreading the word about Dave Ramsey and debt freedom! Dave’s plan makes a bunch of sense, doesn’t it? Good luck on deep-sixing your own debt, baby!
