Good Books and Blah....

Morning....morning gray rainy weather and my friend "the cold"....

I tried to open my eyes this morning but it's like they were glued together and no matter how hard I pressed they wouldn't open. After tossing and turning I finally managed to get out of bed.

Last night I wasn't sure if my friend " the cold" actually came to visit me but now it's official he did and he is here to stay. Ugh!!! Hope it will be a quick visit this time.

The upside of the rainy weather and having a cold is that I get to stay home and:

1. Re-arrange my closets from summer to winter clothes, shoes & jackets.

2. Apply for a job I really want and I am really excited about.

3. Read the new books I bought yesterday.

4. Hang out with my little Chihuahua...Mikey.

5. Work on my exciting online project which is very close to the finish line.

Here are the two books that I think everyone should try to read. When I first heard the titles of these books, I didn't find them attractive to read at all but no that I started reading the I LOVE them. They are both great books and are worth the read!

I always end up reading two books at the same time, I don't know why but it happens. Either I am to eager to read the books so I start both at the same time or sometimes I need a break from one of the books so then I switch to the other one..lol...this is how I read.

Anyone else with funny or weird reading habits?

About Rich Dad Poor Dad:

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed.

Let me know what you think of these books if you have read them or after you read them. I hope you will like them.

Now I am going to go and have my morning coffee and feel better, pop lots of cold medicine (although it just makes you feel better but DOES NOT actually get rid of the cold).
