During your first meeting, agree to all read one book. It can be one of the three we've suggested below - or it can be a book you've heard about elsewhere. The point in reading the book is that your group can share a philosophy and set of guidelines that will help you all do better financially.
Here are the books we suggest:
The Wealthy Barber - David Chilton
Debt-free Forever -
Gail Vaz-Oxlade
Dollars and Cent$ored - Lana Marks Pulver and Kerri Marks Chetner
