$1.36

My boyfriend's parents gave me a $25 gift card to Borders for Christmas.

I invested it by purchasing Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. Which I've heard so much about, but was never willing to spend the money on (it costs $24.99!) and couldn't find at the library when I looked.

I know a lot of people preach Dave as gospel. But I just like to read as much as possible. So it's my new bus book for reading to and from work. So far, I like it. He's preachy and I don't totally agree with everything, but I kind of like his attitude. And I like the stories about other people.

I'm not a strict practicing Christian, but I'm spiritual and I identify with the scripture passages he uses too.

I only had to pay $1.36 for the book after taxes too.
