Welcome to the 97th Carnival of Money Stories hosted by yours truly.  This week will be dedicated to my new goal of read more. More specifically, reading a book a week. By budgeting in an hour here and a few hours there I’ll be able to consume more of my beloved genres.

Why Read More: My weekly internet usage nearly exceeds my weekly sleep so my familiarity with the internet is pretty high. I love the Internet and although it has ability to convey information quickly and in a pity manner. There is something significant missing from the internet that books do not lack – reflection. Reflection will allow myself to sit back and digest the information I’m reading. I’ll be able to change my thoughts, and opinions in a way that was avoidable on the internet.
