My Thoughts: Didn’t really enjoy this book too much. It had some limited success making a few points here and there, but for the most part didn’t do too great a job. I didn’t feel like I could work less and make more after reading it.

This practical, systematic approach to financial freedom is divided into three parts. The first one takes us back to our most formative experiences with money. We do this in order to break free of financial worries and take control of our feelings about money. The next part contains the Must Dos, the Laws of Money. We’ll find out about trusts and wills, credit card debt, saving for retirement, the insurance we should and shouldn’t have, and much more. In the third part, we learn the true secrets of the money cycle and realize that we cannot measure our self-worth by our net worth.
My Thoughts: Sort of ok. I like Suze, but this book became rather repetitive really quickly. Had some good points that stuck out though.

Author: Heny Hazlitt

Called by H.L. Mencken, “one of the few economists in history who could really write,” Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for his brilliant but concise work. In it, he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes, and recession. Covering considerable ground, Hazlitt illustrates the destructive effects of taxes, rent and price controls, inflation, trade restrictions, and minimum wage laws. And, he writes about key classical liberal thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Herbert Spencer.
My thoughts: Really great read. Very insightful, even though it was written several years ago – in fact before I was born.
