...the subtitle goes on...Earn More, Argue Less, Acheive the life you want Together.

 

The book does deliver on that.  It's chock full of anecdotes and advice and some interesting case studies.   I like these ladies.  They don't mince, but they do keep it light (in light of the topic).  Sandra and Katie are only two fifths of the group...but you get a sense of what their about in the first few minutes of conversation.

 

Beyond that...check out their site (oh...and their book, it's a good ROI (and if you don't know what ROI is...you really need the book))

 

Several years ago I was of the firm belief the difference between a $10.00 bottle of wine and a $90.00 bottle of wine was $80.00 worth of a buyer's doltish behaviour.  My dad, who knows wine, set me straight.  There is a difference (and yes Parker Points play in to the mix).   The difference is discernible in a single sip. 

 

I was of the same mind about Giller Prizes.  Like Stephen Henighan I felt that the Giller was  more Toronto-centric in intent.  I thought every story had merit, not just Giller-esque entries.  But then, I thought about $10.00 wine too.

 

The 2009 Giller goes to Linden MacIntyre (Toronto author, Random House- Toronto Publisher (right on Henighan)) but it's $90.00 wine.  No, it's $180.00...okay, put it this way: it deserves to win something.   It won my attention when it was only a nominee and I was pleased when it got the nod.  Even greater was the ...

If anything Ken is passionate about food.  He's been passionate for as long as our lives have intersected and I know for a fact he was into this stuff long before we first met.

 

What sets aside his 15th volume is that it succesfully brings restaurant quality food to your table for less than $5.00 a person (yes, I'm aware of the title but Kostick gives you recipes for two !).  At less than a sawbuck per meal I'm almost convinced I can retire, eat well and enjoy life.

 

The book is simple enough, and provides an excellent return on investment.
