I have been writing books and resources for children on teh subject of financial education - http://www.thefinancialfairytales.com<br />A couple of sources for adults which you may enjoy are Robert Allen, particularly his book Multiple Streams of Income and Loral Langemeir.djbrittonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474372419708860749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-69792838490430208902010-05-07T14:41:43.497+01:002010-05-07T14:41:43.497+01:00I have tried to follow Shelley's frugality and...I have tried to follow Shelley's frugality and put the results into some good investments.

He seems to have a system of cash in envelopes that works for a lot of people. I like paying my bills electronically, however, and you get discounts on things like utility bills if you set it up to be paid automatically. I've got the frugal part down pretty good, I think, having lived on about 40% of my income when I was working. I've not done the actual math since retiring, but I'm very careful so I'd guess it's about 50%. I should figure that out, shouldn't I? My issue about education is about investing, something I'd have been so much better off to have started a long time ago!<br /><br />Jersey Mom - I was going to disagree about 'what feels right' but I suppose people do have a view about 'ethical investments' or how much risk and such.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-86699047894898438602010-05-06T23:22:36.648+01:002010-05-06T23:22:36.648+01:00Have you read anything by Dave Ramsey?

He preaches about living within your means such as doing without that big screen TV that has to be bought on credit or driving a "beater" car instead of having to have a brand new one with all the payments.Rick Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771838562627660449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-3015293658344050232010-05-06T17:40:04.507+01:002010-05-06T17:40:04.507+01:00I enjoyed reading Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomi...I enjoyed reading Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics as well. Don't we all wish to learn more about money? There are many different schools of thought regarding how best to handle and invest. It all comes down to what feels right to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
