For the first book that I am recommending, I have
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen
R. Covey. The reason I bought it is that I was reading
an article in Inc. magazine while flying back home, and
the successful business guy in the article said that he
read the book years ago when he was still poor and it
made a tremendous difference in his life. I figured I
might as well give it a shot. Can it hurt?

Even though I have included this video movie on my books
page, it is without a doubt one of my favorites. Reese
Witherspoon does a fantastic job portraying Becky Sharp
as she goes through the trials and tribulations of her
life during the Victorian Era.
I list this movie because Becky goes from poor to rich
to poor over and over. She struggles and struggles with
money and society. I especially find the scenes where
the debt collectors start knocking on her door and even
come to collect her furniture very close to home, my
home. |

I
have added the Vanity Fair book by
William Makepeace Thackeray here as well. Usually, books
are better than the movie as the movie can fit in only
so much material in two hours time. I will say, however,
that Reese Witherspoon brings a lot to the movie that
the book misses. |

Wall Street is an amazing classic. Anyone who is
going through a hard time can immediately identify with
Charlie Sheen's character when the money runs out -
condo's won't sale, friends dry up. It showed me many
similarities to my own situation as far as how money
effects relationships and such... I just hope that I do
not end up like his character.
Again, I have slipped a DVD here on my favorite books
page; but I find this an exceptional window into the
life of someone who runs out of time and money. |
