Personal Finance Reading Recommendations

Ms. Frugalicous · 09-27-2009, 02:27 PM

I've been trying to increase my personal finance knowledge--which books do you recommend that I read? I haven't done a lot reading in this area, but I have read and enjoyed "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke," by Suze Orman, "Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your 20s and 30s," by Beth Kobliner, and "Put More Cash in Your Pocket," by Loral Langemeier. I found the Loral Langemeier book to be particularly inspiring...it gives great advice on how to be entrepreneurial and make more money each month.

What other personal finance books are must-reads? Which financial gurus do you trust?

I recommend Your Money or Your Life and also Work Less, Live More. These are books focused on achieving financial independence as soon as you can. If you want to get out of the normal "rat race" I do recommend reading these. I'm not really into any financial gurus because every one has their own set of rules that I don't agree with 100%. One guy I thought made a lot of sense is actually Ed Slott, but he is strictly an expert on IRAS, 401ks, and estate planning.

Sounds like motivational stuff to me. For this field I would always look to Tony Robbins.

With financial... not too sure within this field.
