The Only Book I Refuse to Lend Out
I ordered this book a year ago, then took about six months to get around to reading it. Wow - just proves her point that money wasn't a subject I felt comfortable even thinking about, and now I wish I'd read it sooner. This book has absolutely changed my way of thinking and, thank heavens, my life. After two failed engagements, I found myself in a financial morass I thought I'd never escape. This ...

The Smart Money: How the World's Best Sports Bettors Beat the Bookies Out of Millions58 reviews
Michael Konik
Simon & Schuster, 2006
Beyond funny and also well-detailed and told.
As a former blackjack dealer and occasional sports bettor, I found this book unbelievably well-researched and the story told with a detailed flair. Looking back over the three years in which the author played the "front" in a major sports gambling operation, I found myself remembering many of those same weekends and wondering how he was sweating out having $500,000 in play over football games I ...

Remodeling for Easy Access Living (Popular Mechanics Money Smart Makeovers) 1 review
Rick Peters
Hearst, 2006
Where's the beef?
Although a well organized book with plenty of color photos, I could find most of the information contained is this book free online. Additionally, most topics are given only a shallow once-over...probably because the author chose to cover such a wide swath. Save your money. Do a web search on "Universal Design".

Now that I've transitioned out of that into a coach working with women's small business owners, many of whom are working from ...
