Ebaying and Money Secrets!
I just sold $50 worth of old coins on ebay and promptly spent $10 of it buying a book called "Money Secrets of the Amish" by Lorilee Craker. I am from an Amish area of the country and I just adore their way of life. The book mostly centers around their style of money management(lots of saving, very little debt). I hope to learn a thing or two from them!
Baby Step 1: $1000/$1000 DONE!
Baby Step 2: left/starting balance
Credit Cards: $4,091/$5,324
Medical Bill from 08: $480/$541
Vehicle(one paid in full): $11,839/$12,400

Thanks Maddy's Mom, that sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out. At this point I've read so many frugal books everything is just recycled information. I'd love to read a book with fresh ideas.

I picked up a copy at Walmart for about $12.XX. I am about to go and read some in a few minutes. I am really enjoying it even though a lot of it is things I already do. I just like being validated for my frugal ways.

I checked my local library and they carry it (it's just checked out right now). I'll have to check it out myself to look into it.
