Lifehack.org list seven various books and reference materials you can order for free. I ended up ordering #2 and #3 and both are being shipped to me without paying a dime -
2. The Consumer Action Handbook: A new edition of this book is published yearly by the U.S. government. It offers practical advice for consumers, from buying a car to writing a will. The handbook contains an immense amount of information and isn’t exactly light reading, but it is an excellent reference guide. To order a copy, you’ll need to visit the order form on ConsumerAction.gov and provide a mailing address.
3. Investing Basics: This is another government publication. It’s actually a set of several publications to help readers create financial plans and begin investing. If you’re hazy on the details of investing, this kit is a great starter set. And its price tag is much less than investing programs costing hundreds of dollars for essentially the same information. You can order Investing Basics online through the GSA’s order form.

I should really try to focus on these tips. They are good.
Now and then, I like to peruse lifehack.org to find advise on how to improve one's self. One of the items is a list of tips to improve your mental prowess - 22 Ways To Overclock Your Brain. While I've heard most of the tips, the one to "Ask Why" kind of struck me. A lot of the times when something happens, I just accept it and move on. Perhaps, now and then, I need to stop and reflect and ask why. Anyhow, I thought the article was interesting and wanted to share.
