I had that book--I don't think it made the cut in The Purge, but I had it on my office bookshelf for many years. What appealed to me was the notion of budgeting by percentages: 50% needs, 30% wants and 20% savings. In fact, I still practice vestiges of that advice in my YouNeedABudget categories: My major budget categories are Needs, Wants, Debt/savings.
What are your thoughts about how well their advice has aged for you?

The Carnivore Code by Paul Saladino, making a strong case for the nutritional superiority of meat, particularly red meat..
Currently reading a health and nutrition book called Metabolical by Robert Lustig. It is very technical explaining how our diets affect our cells (thus our organs) and why so many of us are metabolically sick and don't even know it. I usually read nutrition books with a bit of skepticism since every author has a slant. This one got my attention though because he explains how many of our current chronic diseases (even perhaps Alzheimer's) start with damage to cell processes due to our diets high in sugar and processed carbs.
Just finished "The Beginner's Goodbye," by Anne Tyler and loved it so much I picked up another of hers (one of my favorite authors), "A Spool of Blue Thread."
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
"Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart is also." Jesus
Another Anne Tyler fan here!
