Books

The Budget Kit: Common Cents Money Management Workbook 5th Edition is Judy Lawrence's book, which will help guide you through creating a budget and sticking to it. You can purchase it here at WealthCamp or at Amazon.com.

Your Money or Your Life (Joe Dominguez, Vicki Robin) is a book that many of our speakers are a huge fan of. There's a big difference between "making a living" and making a life. Do you spend more than you earn? Do you dislike your job but can't afford to leave it? Is money fragmenting your time, your relationships with family and friends? If so, Your Money or Your Life is for you.

The Automatic Millionaire: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich (David Bach) is not a get-rich-quick guide. Rather, the book is a straightforward march through common-sense personal financial planning that suggests readers "automate" their contributions to retirement and investment vehicles. Bach, in fact, calls his model the "tortoise approach" to becoming wealthy by retirement age.
