Tightwad Reading Material
Several readers have inquired about some good books that focus on saving money and adopting a more fiscally responsible lifestyle.
Here are some of my favorites:
One of the most fascinating books I've read recently is "Green With Envy: A Whole New Way to Look at Financial Unhappiness," by Shira Boss. Read this book and you'll realize that your neighbor with the big house, shiny new car and endless wardrobe may not actually be flush with cash but may instead be swimming in debt.
The Tightwad Gazette series of three books were published more than 10 years ago, but they still have so much good, relevant information in them. I still use many of the money-saving tips and recipies in them.
You also may want to check out "Your Money Or Your Life" by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin and "The Circle of Simplicity" by Cecile Andrews. Both provide much inspiration to those trying to change the way they deal with their money.
