My favorite books on Money and Personal Finance

avatar

Hi friends, I am back with another list of best books on money. This time around, we are going to talk about personal finance.

I have been a big fan of books ever since I was a kid. My dad used to take me to the library every Saturday and I would pick up at least one book each week. Since then, I have read hundreds of books on different topics ranging from science fiction to business management. And, this has helped me in many ways – I started reading when I was 6 years old and I can now fluently speak three languages. But more importantly, it made me think that knowledge is power and the only way you can be successful is by being smart and learning as much as possible.

Oh shit, this post has made me feel good about myself because I see I've read 4 of the books here: numbers 8, 5, 3, and 2.

Now that I think about it where are my millions to show for it? Fuck me 🤦🏾‍♂️

Lol. I know right. Don't worry. As long as we both have started on the right path like this, there's no way our millions won't come.... One day... If we don't give up... It will be here. Don't lose faith.

The only books on this list that I haven't read are The wealthy barber and the total money makeover. The rest I have read them again and again and again.

The book that shocked me the most had been the millionaire nextdoor. It made me realize why my parents lived the way they did and why my dad particularly frowns upon buying objects of no value as oppose to doing things that brings freedom with money.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Millionaire Next Door is a great book. I agree with you about how it can help us see our own lives more clearly, and also encourage us to look at other people's lives with greater understanding.
