So I went to the library today...

March 17th, 2008 at 10:12 pm

And I checked out three financial books. I looked for Dave Ramsey, but our neighborhood library is rather small so I didn't see it on the shelf. I did, however, check out Suze Orman's "Women and Money", "Managing Debt for Dummies" and "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving your Credit Score." The latter two I'm not totally enthused about, but I should be boning up on everything I can. Going to the library instead of Borders was a good step for me. I went through my book shelves and found about 20 or so self help books that had I checked them out from the library, I wouldn't have a) wasted money b)felt the need to read them (in other words, they're all crap). Here's to learning, one of the greatest of all God's gifts to us!

Oh, and little man tate checked out an Easter book. We're pretty excited about reading that before bed time tonight Smile

    Did you look for The Tightwad Gazette? Even though it's dated now, it was the most helpful book to me.

    Checking books out from the library ... Way to go!!!

    I agree completely about not feeling obligated to read a book when you've checked it out rather than purchasing ... not getting in to it? Not what you expected? Back it goes! No guilt.

    Ask them to get the books you want through an ILL (inter-library loan). They should be able to order it from another library at no cost to you. I would ask to make sure though. I think that some libraries charge for the postage. I know that our PA libraries do it at no charge.

    Chicago is pretty fantabulous in terms of that. The little guy was just getting anxious and there was a homeless woman walking around complaining that someone had stolen all her stuff while sleeping at one of the tables. Laughing...I wanted to make a fast getaway! Thanks rduell!
