For those of us who like to read (and write) information on personal finance subjects, we spend energy on a wide range of wealth building strategies. Too often we ignore the concept of making money because we feel it’s something outside our control. After all, our employer pays us, we don’t pay ourselves, right? The reality is that your income is your greatest wealth building asset.

Those who have followed this blog for a long time know that I don’t have many personal heroes. There are a lot of people who have valuable things to say, but there are very few people who have reached such a trusted level with me that I tend to put extra value on the things they say just because that person said them.
One of those few people was John Wooden, who passed away this past week (I mentioned it briefly in my reader mailbag on Monday). A few years ago, I wrote about how John Wooden had taught me…

There are hundreds of questions that pop up on a parent’s or soon-to-be parent’s mind. How should we raise our children? What lessons should we instill in our children’s minds at an early age? Financial literacy — like any other fundamental life lesson — must begin at home.

I am not sure when I first ran across Adam and his blog Man vs. Debt. All I remember was how impress I was with Adam and his story. I knew then that his blog will become an influential force in personal finance blogosphere. And it didn’t take long before Adam’s humble little blog becomes a top-tier personal finance destination. Recently, Adam surprised me again with the launch of his Unautomate Your Finances Guide — somehow calling it an eBook just doesn’t cut it.
