Now that I’ve got your attention, I’ll explain:
I’m really tired. And I should really be in bed sleeping. So I’d love to tell you all about the ladies’ discussion group I hosted tonight and all the interesting things we discussed about September’s reading topic of healthy eating. But I am exhausted.
So I’ll try to get back on that tomorrow.
But first a heads-up on the October topic: Finance.
Yep, ladies, this month your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to read a book on finance or money. And, just like last month, feel free to stretch this as far as you’d like. The only rule is that you use this excuse to get yourself reading and expanding your mind.
Think about this one, pray about this one and try to pick a book by next Tuesday, October 14. I’ll post my choice then, as well as a little preview about it.
If you’re also a blogger, I’d love for you to post your book choice as a comment here on Momstoolbox.com next Tuesday, and link back to a fuller post on your blog. If you aren’t a blogger, please join us next week and post your book choice (and anything else you’d like to say) in the comments.
To get you started on your book selection (because this topic can be a bit intimidating) I’ve asked a financial advisor I know really well (okay, I’m married to him) for a few ideas:
- The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko
- The Best Way to Save for College by Joseph F. Hurley
- How to Parlay your IRA into a Family Fortune by Ed Slott
And a book on micro-lending which is just interesting and makes you think:
Hopefully that will get you thinking. And I’m going to go get sleeping. Look for a wrap-up on September’s topic of healthy eating later today.
