Until recently I was that person buying the pottery. I think it is really easy to purchase for fun and allow ourselves to not even think about how it fits into our budget let alone long term goals. People (myself included) always have a way of justifying this to themselves "I deserve it because of x, y, z", "It's only $100" or "I want something special to remember this trip. Buying this is worth the money." Etc.. I wanted to say how much I like the look of your site. I love the brown and green. It is a very nice looking site. I like your font and how you have everything laid out. Much nicer looking than many pf blogs. Thanks!

When I first got seriously interested in finance several years ago, I read everything I could find by Suze Orman. I still really like her stuff, and her no-nonsense style. She doesn't advocate any tricks or magic - just common sense stuff that works. I also like Andrew Tobias as a pf author. Go to the library and check out the personal finance section (332 in the dewey system) - just browse around and you'll find all sorts of stuff. Good luck!
