I can't recommend any books, but I'm going to have to read the books on your list. I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and a few of Suze Orman's books, but I need to get myself to the library and check some of those out!

Is it possible that you may have the title wrong?

"Wealth on Minimal Wage" by James Steamer.

Amazon has several used copies for sale.

Gai Vaz Oxlade's new book is coming out in December. I can't remember the name of it though! Check out her blog!


Other then that I feel like a of the books are repetitive. I have read several david bach's and severl suze ormans and kind of feel like they are all the same after

Here is a Recommended Reading list compiled from members of the board a while ago.

I think the last name is similar to O'Keefe, Becky.
