Dumb Things Smart People Do with Their Money

This surprised me. I was recommended the book by several people and blogs but was turned off by the author being part of the mainstream media machine which usually spews dumbed down bad advice. Jill Schlesinger did a great job of hitting the main points of personal finance that should apply to most people. Sadly for my poor behind, all of the examples were of professionals who make $100k or more per year and have $1 million+ in savings or assets. So it takes some creative and objective thinking to see the main points from each chapter and learn how they can be applied to poverty financing.
I also really enjoyed that she brought a sense of humor and curse words to the topic. It's easy to zone out when trying to digest this stuff. I look forward to checking out her podcast.
