I'm going to get that book. I had heard of it but this is the first synopsis I've read and I like it.

I skimmed the article - it was interesting. But, I found the comments about the article even more interesting.

I like this quote from the comments; "when you think of people that are rich, you generally envision people who HAVE a lot of money, not SPEND a lot of money."

Interesting, indeed. I wonder if my local Half-Price Books has a copy. If not, it's off to the B&N for me.

I disagree. If you have earned your money your choices are really only two. Either hoard it and count it at night like a mizer Scrooge or spend it (whether on toys, charitably your kids or otherwise.)

The book isn't available on Amazon ... making me wonder how easy it will be to find to purchase?

Nah, I've stayed away from libraries the last 25 years for a reason. Returning the books! I've paid library fines in the past high enough to have purchased the book in the first place. So I just outright buy my books at the get go. Yes, I have a lot of them. I'm staring at six (6) bookcases full right where I am sitting. And that's just my "office". What can I say? Books comprise at least 80% of my entertainment budget. |
