"How to Manage Your Money When You Don't Have Any"
By Eric Wecks
What a slog. The majority of the book is concerned with the perils of consumer debt (duh) and what not to do, including ridiculous examples (don't spend $1,200 a month on shoes if you want to keep your home!). The few practical tips are generic and do not break new ground. He makes a good point about looking at a budget in terms of what you value--that is, you spend money based on your value system and should budget accordingly or change your values--but other than that Wecks does not have much that mattered to me. This one is definitely going near the bottom of my list for the year.
