Currently on Step 2B and will be doing it til end of the month. The self-help style of the book is a bit grating but if I want literary merit I should go read Shakespeare, right?

I skipped the lifetime income part but finally got around to figuring out a rough actual monthly income -- don't want to skip ahead though! -- My main thought on Chapter one of this book is that it is eye-opening and very different from what I expected out of a finance book.<br /><br />I'm at Chapter 3 and posted about my current thoughts already.

I've never fully done all the homework and probably never will (I don't want to inventory all my stuff). Still, I haven't done much with it in the past few years, and it will be interesting to re-run some of the numbers, maybe do some extra stuff, and just re-inoculate myself with the good thinking.<br /><br />@EcoCatLady, I've heard the editions are very similar except for the chapter on investing which is very different. I have the earlier edition myself.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808239793493469248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-1049350395407816692012-03-10T05:32:19.758-08:002012-03-10T05:32:19.758-08:00Glad to have you Ruth!

I just downloaded the program guide, and I already started crunching numbers (which I love, actually). I'll try to keep up with the discussion here.Melissa @ HerGreenLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565774385052987756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-42415596010106258772012-03-07T10:57:44.822-08:002012-03-07T10:57:44.822-08:00I'm in of course!

I tend to give them away like party favors because I just think that EVERYBODY should enjoy this life altering program. But I'm sure I can find one somewhere. I haven't read any of the newer editions, so maybe this will be a good excuse. Which edition are you using?<br /><br />I may have to draw on historical info since I haven't had a real job for 5-6 years now... thinking of the real wage stuff. And I can't promise I'll be super diligent about charts and stuff, but I'm certainly happy to blather about my experiences (blathering is my forte after all!)EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
