So I've been doing a bit of investing as of late, and I've read two really good books on the subject. The first was Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich by Jim Cramer (he of Mad Money fame on CNBC) and another by Bill O'Neil entitled How to Make Money in Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad. O'Neil, if your not familiar with the name, is the founder of Investors Business Daily. Both of these guys are really solid, and I highly recommend the books if you have any interest, whatsoever, in the subject.

You know Scott--The one book (i.e., financial manager) that I wish I had gotten into long before I finally did is Dave Ramsey. We've never had consumer debt of any kind, but had we (I) followed his principals, we’d be much better off than now. (Perfect example: We had the opportunity to buy a simple yet functional house in cash after moving to MS; Instead, we bought a 30 year albatross around our neck and are working desperately to pay it off in 15.)
His book, The Total Money Makeover, really does seem to be built upon Biblical principles, and I hope that all of you all take the chance to read it. I think I was brought up with a pretty decent financial background, but I can honestly say that this guy really did change my life.
Given your financial history, that's a pretty solid recommendation. I'll place the order and put it next in the cue. Thanks for the input.
Have you the two I mentioned regarding investments?
