Pick up a good bookSummer reading can prevent problems for all seasons
There are still some lazy days of summer left for lounging with a good book. Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Atlanta suggests that consumers add a financial education book to their summer reading list. A new Book Referrals section in the Money$marts Center of www.cccsinc.org lists some excellent choices. "Many books are available with valuable consumer information from how to craft a spending plan to the best investments strategies for college tuition or retirement," CCCS President Suzanne Boas said. "Why not learn something to better your financial life along with solving the latest mystery or enjoying the newest best seller?" CCCS recommends summer readers use the local library, a discount bookstore or order through the new Book Referrals section of www.cccsinc.org. Packed with useful tips, these CCCS book suggestions make helpful, pleasurable summer reading: "Get Clark Smart," Clark Howard and Mark Meltzer.
