I just finished reading the book The Millionaire Next Door. I have been doing a paint-job for a doctor who recommended it to me. This doctor and his wife paid off their mortgage only one year after purchasing their first home. He said that some of his medical school graduate friends were shocked when they came to visit and saw what a small home they lived in. He said he is immune to social pressure to keep up with the Joneses. I was pretty familiar with the basic idea behind the book, but I still found that it really changed my perspective about money. It also made me feel really guilty that I don't budget. It was a eye-opening book. I recommend it to everyone. We are definitely now starting a budget. - Seth
