I agree. As I said, they are both good books. I also think The Wealthy Barber and The Millionaire Next Door are good in getting folks in the right mindset about dealing with money.

My advice? Well, other than my accountant who does our taxes, I don't pay for any financial advice (unless you count my internet costs for hanging out here ). I've also had a financial plan run a few times over the years by our insurance agent, though I didn't pay anything for that service beyond whatever the agent already earns from our policies. So I haven't seen the need to pay for financial advice so far. And I certainly wouldn't have considered it when I was in my 20's. I could see seeking some professional guidance when I'm closer to retirement age, but I've got quite a while to go before then.
