Start Over, Finish Rich: 10 Steps to Get You Back on Track in 2010 by David Bach is a short but informative book about getting your finances in order and setting money aside for your retirement.  In it he details 10 Steps that will help you get on track.  I picked this book up from the local library recently and read it in just a few hours.  I have never read any of Bach’s books before, indeed I haven’t really read any personal finance books before, and I could have probably done worse than starting with this one.  The first few steps are invaluable for getting on track, including setting up a financial filing system, creating a budget, and tracking your expenses.  Some of the tools he mentions and offers on his website I will definitely be taking advantage of.  The book is definitely feels like it is intended to be an update to his previous works, but I haven’t read any of them.  As a beginner in the realm of taking back my financial freedom, I probably would have been upset to have purchased this as one of my first books, but I would highly encourage anyone looking for a primer to grab it from the local library.  Of course if you do decide to buy it, grabbing it from my amazon link would be great thanks.
