Comments on: Ten Personal Finance and Career Books You Should Read http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2012/02/05/ten-personal-finance-and-career-books-you-should-read/ Financial talk for the rest of us Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:14:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Kai http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2012/02/05/ten-personal-finance-and-career-books-you-should-read/#comment-981408 Kai Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:59:22 +0000 http://www.thesimpledollar.com/?p=8284#comment-981408 This one actually makes sense to me. He has now put up a post that covers the top ten he’d likely refer others to go back and read in the future, and he’s said that since he doesn’t have enough good books to talk about any more, he’s going to finish it at this post for a while.
I think this is a great way to end a series – it would be worth doing with some other themes when he has run out of ideas for them.

Otherwise, everything else in it – to me – is just common sense.

It’s older, but still a nice car and the real difference is he isn’t churning cars every few years but enjoying and maintaining the quality of the one he does have. I agree though, that the image people often want to take from the book is that everyone who “looks” rich must be one step away from disaster, which is hardly true. My take away from the book was you can spend your salary living like you imagine your supposed to live or become rich (or at least better off) by making your salary a small percentage of your actual wealth.

I really enjoy this blog and find something useful from nearly every day. My favorite feature is the “Ten pieces of inspiration” which has introduced me to so many amazing things I likely would have never seen otherwise. Thanks Trent!
