Last year at the holidays I listed what I felt were the best money-related gifts for the season. This year I've gone one step further and created an entire store using an option available from Amazon. I've used "Free Money Finance Recommended Products" as the oh-so-clever name of the store. ;-)
A few comments on it before you stop by:
1. It's small. Only seven products (all books) are listed. Why? Because for an item to get into this store, I have to really, really, really like it. Not many items meet my standards. That said, the items that are in the store are 100% recommended by me and would make great presents for anyone interested in personal finance.
2. I'll be adding to the store throughout the year as new products make the cut.
3. I do earn a small commission on each product sold through the store, but the items here will not cost you a penny more than if you went directly to Amazon. Besides, I give all my revenue to charity.
So stop by the store (buy something if you like) and come back and tell me what you think about it. What's good? What's bad? Are there any products you think are excellent that I should consider adding to the store?
I have most of those books in my shopping basket but have to call amazon to process my gift certificate. "the automatic millionare" is a great book, easy and simple to read/understand. i read it at the bookstore and didn't realize how simple it is to manage money.
do you have any tips on how to setup automatic savings for roth iras? i already contribute 15% of my pretax money from each paycheck to the 401k. i use BofA as my primary banking. But they charges fees for bank to bank transfers which is why it's kinda frustrating.
thanks!
