Self-Help Books
My wife checked out The Money Coach's Guide to Your First Million from the library. It seems, in general, like decent advice, but I do want to offer you Tahnan's Guide to Writing a Self-Help Guide, based on what I call the ACRONYM system:
Unrelatedly: if anyone out there does the Atlantic Monthly's cryptic (note to Q. Pheevr: turns out the magazine had changed its mind again, and once again made the Puzzler, and its archives, public), [EDIT: never mind, Jangler explained it to me, bless 'im. Note left up, though, so that the reading public in general, and Q. in particular, can be reminded that there're some well-crafted cryptics out there].

- Arrange points in sets
- Create a mnemonic
- Rearrange as necessary
- Offer the points together
- Never be afraid to stretch things
- You should keep going as long as necessary
- Milk it for all it's worth
