Good Books for Financial Literacy?

Question

Anybody have any good recommendations for books that help increase your financial literacy? Just read Rich Dad Poor Dad and now realize the importance of having a high financial IQ. Let me know!

Your Money or Your Life - Vicky Robbins. Start there and work your way into the Millionaire Next Door.

I highly recommend the following:

• The Richest Man in Babylon (a basic primer on saving and investing)
• The Total Money Makeover (especially if you're in debt)
• Rich Dad, Poor Dad (for mindset, especially)
• Money: Master the Game (great for investing basics)
• The Big Short (to learn insight into how the Wall Street casino really works)
• I Will Teach You to be Rich
• Anything by Jim Rohn (he has numerous books and there are videos of his speeches on Youtube)
• Market Wizards
• I would also recommend all the books published here on BP for real estate knowledge

If you can make it a habit to read constantly (maybe set a daily goal of even just 30 minutes), I have no doubt it will change your life for the better. Good luck!
