ING DIRECT Summer Reading List

I’m a proud customer of ING DIRECT. They have made a big effort in trying to make saving hip. I’m sure trying to push that marketing concept through a financial services company was no small task.

But I just got a cool email from them recommended some books for the summer.

I thought I would share them with you:

What would summer be without a good book? Here are some of our favorites:

  • Our CEO’s Pick – The Automatic
    Millionaire,
    David Bach
    – This book gives good, practical
    advice to the young and old alike on managing personal finances. It’s never
    too late to start! We are particularly proud of the mention of ING DIRECT
    and the Orange
    Savings Account
    in this book.

  • The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley
    and William Danko
    – Want to become wealthy and have the lifestyle
    you really want? Follow seven simple rules and stop renting your life away.

  • All You’re Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money
    Plan,
    Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi
    – This book is
    for real people living on a budget who want to learn how to pay for the
    things they want and need and also how to save for the future.

  • Our Special Pick for Parents and Children
    – Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday,
    Judith Viorst and Ray
    Cruz
    – This is a book for all of those skeptics out there who think
    a dollar can’t get you much. Children will be able to connect with the
    concept of money management.

I’ve read “The Millionaire Next Door”. It’s really good. It might be disappointing for some. There isn’t much of a trick to it other than being pretty dang tight with your money.
