These are my favorite personal finance books. All of these books, in different ways, will inspire you to take control of your personal finances, find freedom through that control, and improve your overall happiness. And all that packed into about 8-10 hours of reading or listening. The amazing thing about a book is that you can learn so much for under $20 or for free if you get it from the Library, assuming it’s a good book, of course. I love to listen to books on Libby, which is how you can listen to free audiobooks from your local Public Library; it is like a free Audible, and I love it.
