Wisebread - Make Your Hobby Pay Its Way by Philip Brewer
I love keeping busy with hobbies.

I can relate to this post because my family didn't discuss finances. My father had no idea of his parents finances until as executor of their estate he had to wade through finances. (Let me tell you, people who have lived through the depression have a habit of hiding things in strange places.
