Excellent book for families

This is an excellent book for families to read. Especially husbands! Jim Steamer takes a common-sense approach and I'm impressed that he's actually achieving financial independence in spite of low-paying jobs. It just proves to me that it CAN be done. It was inspiring to me to know that sometimes a low-paying job can be seen as a "temporary" choice if it gives you control of your time and your life. The only reason I didn't give this book a "10" is because the one thing I didn't find in Jim Steamer's book was more background about what motivated him or his wife's comments or input. However, I was glad to find this in "Woman's Day" magazine, the September 1, 1997 issue. I still cannot figure out why the article doesn't seem to mention his book
