...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:

1. The Complete Tightwad  by Amy Dacyczyn

"...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.

 

2. Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey

"...He doesn't just give methods and worksheets but helps you feel differently about money...He lists steps in order of priority that you must take, like paying credit cards, prepaying a mortgage, saving for kid's college education, etc..." ~ Cheryl P.

"...The book, Financial Peace, has truly given me financial peace." ~ Cherie

3. Debt-Proof Living by Mary Hunt

"...I wish I had this book ten years ago. I think it would be a great gift for a college grad or for someone getting married." ~ J. Hunt ("I am not in any way related to the author.")

"I read Mary Hunt's book, Debt-Proof Living and found it to be a most wonderful guide for getting out of debt, saving money, and renewing my faith in my financial future..." ~ SKH

4. Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin

"I enjoyed reading Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin. It has a whole new outlook on budgeting that I could really get my financial teeth into...A bonus find was the Your Money or Your Life - Group Study Guide for Contemporary Christians..." ~ Eileen A.
