...of Good Money
Management
In the February 15, 2000 issue of the e-zine, we asked
our readers, "In the last six months, have you read any financial self-
help books on topics such as saving money, budgeting, getting out of
debt, etc?" In addition to answering the question with a
"yes" or "no," we also asked them to drop us a line
telling us what books they had read and if they would recommend those
books to other Counting the Cost readers. Below are the five
most popular books listed among the responses along with what our readers had
to say about those books:
|
"...the best $19.95 I have ever spent..." ~ Christi H.
"I read The Tightwad Gazette books at least two times
a year. There are so many good tips in these books you can't remember
them all after one reading." ~ Anonymous
Editor’s Note: The Complete Tightwad is a
compilation of the Tightwad Gazette I, II, and III books.
