Whether you make $8,000 a year, or $800,000 a year, I highly recommend the following book for anyone interested in building a nest-egg, despite the bad economy, taxes etc. Or any other excuse one might concoct to justify his or her financial irresponsibility.

The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason.

Your economic future is YOUR responsibilty

Not your Senator's Not your Neighbor's Not your Banker's
