Hi All,

I think most people on BP are self-taught or self teaching when it comes to Personal Finance.  I know that my study has been a hodge-podge of Corporate Finance, blog and Podcast study, books, and trial and error.

I wish there was a course on how to do all this, but being young and naive ( @Ben Leybovich ) I would love to have some structure to my ongoing education in personal finance!

Can anybody list some resources that did the following for them:

- Sparked interest/passion in personal finance

- Changed their outlook on finance/investing

- Actually got into the nitty gritty of specific types of investments

- Just proved useful when studying personal finance in some other way

Some of my favorite personal finance materials so far are:

The Four Hour Work Week - Tim Ferris

The Millionaire Next Door - Thomas Stanley + William Danko

Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki

For more in depth study, I look to Coursera courses and of course blogs like BP.  

Anyways - I would love to hear your favorite resources and read up on them!
