Not so much self help books.  I do read articles and such of financial advisers and I have learned a lot.  I also like to read articles about successful people and how they achieved their goals.  Not movie stars or anything like that.  I mean real people.  Not to brag but I followed some advice.  I was a single mom w/ 2 kids.  I was able to purchase my own home and pay it off in 1 year,  and a nice car cash.  I was working and making pretty good money.  No debt.  Then after that I met my now hubby and had 2 more babies.  I read stuff about how to build up credit, how to reach your goals and stuff like that.  Some people think I'm crazy but I think if you put the effort in it, it can be done.  It's amazing.

That's great, I think when people really want it bad enough they can accomplish their goals. Stay focus and keep you eye on the prize. Good for you.

I read the Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage.

I went from being able to be on Hoarders (one of the not so bad people) and being a psycho/manipulative bitch to my house being super super clean, food cooked, my attitude twoards my husband changed, he changed his twoards me, everything. Totally changed my life.

I like self help books. The last one I read was The Secret and I thought it was a great concept.
