Lazy Week Reading List

This book is a national bestseller, and certainly doesn't need my endorsement. But I frequently receive emails about personal finance problems and recognize that money isn't really the issue. It's just a symptom of what is wrong in many relationships between adults, or parents and children, or just the problems of individuals alone.

Money is often synonymous with control. Unfortunately, it's the only scorecard many people use to measure their own worth, reward themselves, express their feelings to others, or try to force others to respect them. America has a special fascination with the power of money. We spend a lot of time figuring out how to get it, and envying those who have it. And usually, it doesn't make us happier.

The few simple, but potent, lessons of this book will change your life far more than adding zeros on your financial balance sheet. And that's The Savage Truth.
