Budget Mondays

Monday – 6/23/2014

It’s Monday – a painful day for most people, yours truly included. Sometimes it is made even more painful as we remember just how much money we ended up spending over the weekend.

Budget

It’s one word that can make people cringe, angry and sad all at the same time, a rare occurrence indeed. There are plenty of reasons for this – people are told at work that their budgets are being cut, their ideas cannot be funded because they are not in the budget, and in our personal life, our budgets don’t usually quite match up to our desires.

Summertime is here, and that means barbeques, swimming, long days, and a more relaxed and more enjoyable time of year for many. Not all of this extra time, however, need be spent catching rays or swimming. If you are so inclined, you can also use this extra time and flexibility to either catch up, or spring ahead, with your financial reading and financial literacy. Doing so might put you a few steps ahead when the Fall rolls around.

Some of the best books, as per the article included below, are as follows:

The Richest Man in Babylon
Rich Dad Poor Dad
The Science of Getting Rich
The Millionaire Next Door

Happy Reading!
