Is it as good as you all say?

Options
I bought 'The Book' weeks ago, but knowing I was going on hols soon and how much I would miss the web-site I decided to save it until then.

Asked my husband to hide it so I wouldn't be tempted.......... then in typical female fashion I changed my mind, but he won't tell me where it is, no matter how much pressure I put him under (he's either forgotten where he's hidden it, or more likely reading it himself).

Thought about buying another one, but then that really wouldn't be moneysaving would it? Much as I would like to increase Martin's sales.

so is it really as good as you all say?

    what can i say about it, well let me start at the beginning. before reading this book i didnt care about spending money on what i wanted but when i read this book it changed my life and i really mean that. now that may sound a bit dramatic but its true. i have never been so influenced by a book in my life but somehow this book made me think in a different way. subsequently i have changed my spending habits and changed many money matters. iam now a converted m.s.e. and am now trying to help friends and family as well. so is it a good read - damn right it is, enjoy your holiday and happy reading. ;)

  • I love it too. Its the best book I have ever read. Have read it the full way through twice since buying it last week. It really has made me face up to my finances - I am now happy that I am making a dent in my debt and am livign within my means.
