    <body><![CDATA[This is the first PersonalMBA reading list book I have read.  The information that I found most intersting and insightful was:<br/><br/>- You have made a lot of money in your life, look around your home, go through your stuff... what do you have to show for it?<br/>- The act of earning money is u...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66936887">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Enjoyed this book thoroughly! The beauty of the system it hawks is its simplicity: chart what you earn, chart what you spend and see if there's a gap in the right direction (i.e. are you spending less than you earn?).  The big !aha! moment for me came when you chart your expected retirement date. I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56743173">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book because I have begun to feel like no matter how much money we make it never seems like enough.  Well, it turns out that I'm not alone.  According to the authors a lot of us feel like we just need a little bit more no matter what our income level is.  It doesn't matter how much you m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43276381">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I agree with some of this book's message (pay attention to where your money is going, consider how much of your hard-earned money is going towards some silly things you don't need.)  I already track my expenses in a little notebook--that's what most of the financial gurus say to do. But there's such...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72925424">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very helpful book about gaining financial independence and confidence in your life and career by living well within your means and being a conscious spender.
