Thinking of pulling Ayn Rand up from the archives to re-read as well this year...as well as all of Paul Erdman's(a really good inside look at the way the financial world works) books. Last year I enjoyed rereading all of Tony Hillerman, Jean Auel, Louise Erdrich and Jean Hager's books.
Here's a few new that are waiting to be finished (I've read the first chapter & perused the rest of them!) before Feb 20th...the order above will be interrupted to include:
How To Retire the Cheapskate Way by Jeff Yeager(library checkout)
Debt Cures by Kevin Trudeau (library check-out) You never know even being debt free where you'll pick up a tip!
The Money Book for Freelancers, Part-Timers and the Self-Employed by Joseph D'Agnese (library check-out)
Excited to learn what's on everybody else's lists! -KD
This is my first post, I've been lurking a while, an early retiree at 26 (eons ago), adventure traveller, venture capitalist, antique dealer as a joyful passionate side hustle, housewife and Mum who saved half or more of her allotted grocery dollars for years! I worked in high school as manager for a small town hospital credit union - appalled at those who saved by withdrawals on their checks only to come in the Monday after payday to only withdraw it!! :( I then worked for a time during college at a mortgage company where my job was to figure and write out the checks for investors - I said after the first week that it (receiver of investment dividends) would be the life for me!! Before I retired I was a debt collector who also sometimes had to repo cars. Pay your bills! Don't buy what you can't afford! Learned investing thru self-study and a bit of practice with an investment club (why is it a foreign language to high school grads???), accounting major in college. Hubs joined me in retirement at 62 a few years back when his employer closed down - he was one who WANTED to work til 70. Fortunately we had been debt free including mortgage for a number of years so all is well. Tax advantaged saver, paid ourselves first, bought used (auctions are a lovely place to entertain a Mustachian in NEED of buying something - know your prices, don't go and get carried away buying STUFF), pinch 'em till it screams, save the rest - this means I skim any 'leftover' at the end of the month to additional savings - YNAB software user, penny picker upper!
