ETA: Never mind, it's not being released until March.
I think that's a great choice for March or April though.
I hope we can continue to discuss Smart Women/Couples Finish Rich, but the discussion has gotten kind of dead.
I like the idea of keeping it non-fiction and vaguely MM related.
Has everyone already read "The Millionaire Next Door"?
Living the Savvy Life: The Savvy Woman's Guide to Smart Spending and Rich Living looks interesting. Like a more in-depth look at the values-based spending approach of SWFR.
Yeah I think we* should finish this book first before starting another. I like the idea of voting on a book. It's probably also a good idea to vote on whether people want to continue the google group or if they would rather have it here.
*I say "we" like I've read it. lol. Maybe I'll get around to it by the March discussion.
(Disclaimer: I don't participate) Another interesting option might be "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin--it's about how she spent a year trying to increase her happiness. Since she's also the wife of a hedge fund manager living very well in NYC it could spur some discussions regarding money and its role regarding happiness; it also discusses buying habits and prioritizing values. It may not be as direct advice as books directly geared towards finance, but there's a lot of food for thought.
You can coordinate the next go-round, cjeanette. I like the idea of using Feb to finish up SMFR/take a break, and then resume in March with a new book.
@gypsy, if we're finishing up SMFR, you're still in charge! we've got like 6 more chapters to discuss!
I would be down for joining next time. I didn't end up getting in on the first one (forgot to include myself).
I would love to read a book about women in careers, particularly about how to take your career to the next level, get noticed at work, necessary skills for a woman to succeed in the workplace, etc. I don't have a suggestion right now.
I just started it. It keeps switching characters so I'm not really loving it so far.
Oh, that throws me off. Let me know if you like it. I think I will get it on my kindle. (if it's not $$$)
I just finished reading Gone Girl and the 2 character thing wasn't an issue for me. The two characters are very distinctly different people with different sides of a story/timelines, so it wasn't confusing. It was sometimes frustrating when one chapter of one character finished with a cliffhanger and then you'd have to read through the next chapter to get back to the first story - but I thought that was a good frustration, the kind that makes a book a page turner.
I've heard a lot of people say the hated the end. I didn't like the VERY end, like the last chapter, but I didn't feel it ruined the book for me. I would have wanted it different, but oh well.
It was like $13 on the Kindle, which is the only thing that sucks. That's why I waited so long to read it, I used a Christmas giftcard.
