Adulting -How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) StepsKelly Williams Brown
Money... The biggest downfall of being an adult. If only I could go back to living with my parents and saved all the money I made through out high school making pizzas for three four years. But you'd guess I've learned my lesson, right? Oh no.
I took the best advice I could have ever received about my uncontrollable spending habits. I froze my credit cards. Oh indeed, I stuck them in a huge mixing bowl of water and put it in the freezer. Thanks Kelly for making me think before I spend. Now when I want to go shopping and put it all on my cards, because you can pay those off whenever, I have to think about what I'm using my cards for while I wait for a huge piece of ice to melt. Is it really worth it? Can't wait for guest to come over to the house and go to my freezer for ice...
Thus bringing us to Advanced Adulting, dealing with all other adult things that have to do with money and saving. But don't worry! She uses drawings of cute animals to talk about all the different adult things you need to know about money. Personally my favorite is the Savings Sloth, how adorable?
Granted the humor, I feel like this makes a great book for anyone to read, no matter the age. Hey, remember an elderly man suggested this book to me because it's one of his favorites. I'm sure he and others have taken in a lot of good tips because really, do we really grow up?
