5 Money books worth buying

The article titled "Five Money Books worth buying," grabbed my attention right away.

I know I'm no different than any other American. Debt and up to my eyeballs with it. I have a friend and her husband who save every penny at all costs. Where I find that my husband and I spend every penny as if our pockets were on fire. OK, maybe that's over dramitizing things a little but you get the idea.

I once heard a story (and yes the story is true) about a man who skimped and saved every penny his whole life. Rarely bought new things, always bought used cars, hardly ever ate out. His whole purpose behind his saving all his money was so that he would live an easy life when he retired. I'm sure you can read between the lines and guess what comes next...the man died two weeks after he retired and never got to live a comfortable, lush lifestyle.

Now I'm not saying that you should spend every penny so that you won't miss out on anything. But I'm also not saying you should hoard every dime like it's your last chance at a meal. Each person needs to decide for themselves what type of financial lifestyle they want to live. My debt comes from when we were young, stupid, and really didn't have a whole lot of other choices. Looking back I wish things could of been different but they are what they are and now we deal with it.

The bottom line is, maybe we should all give those top 5 books a chance. Take them for what there worth or not worth...
