FRIDAY: Smart Is the New Rich

Read about this book on CNN and immediately requested it from the library. It is a common sense approach to finance with easy to remember cues ("debt free in three," "pay yourself first") written in a comfortable, engaging style.

Content deals with overall financial philosophy for these economic times, spending (less than you make), saving (6-10%), debt, credit cards, retirement, etc.

Easy to read, and great practical advice. If you are looking for a little financial inspiration to help you get through your holiday spending, or to help you start the new year on better financial footing, check this book out.
