MMM

Not long ago, my sister introduced me to the Mr Money Mustache blog and I am a big fan. Therefore, I want to pass it on. The theme of this blog is how, by being extremely frugal, you can retire early. Since I am in my mid 40's and more than ready to retire, this theme is near and dear to me and I am gobbling up every bit of advise he types. I have actually started at the beginning of his blog (first post was April 2011) and am reading multiple posts every day to catch up. Today, I am only up to May 2011 (hey, he post lots of advise, every day... or maybe I'm just a slow reader...or better yet, maybe  I am thoroughly absorbing his wisdom and maximizing my most-certain potential for early retirement).

Whatever the case, on May 28, 2011, MMM wrote up a review on the book The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz. Click here to read his review. It sounds like the book The Secret or any number of those other self-help, power of positive thinking type of books. Gotta love a good self-help book, right? So, I bought it! Hahaha, not what MMM would advocate, but the library up here didn't carry it. Actually, I didn't need to spend any of my money. Last month I received an Amazon gift card for my birthday, so I used the card and will consider the book a birthday gift from my employer. A book that will help me to eventually leave my employer!

Stay tuned for my review.
