A Ben Stein book – “You can still retire comfortably.” Very simple, very clear, but does not pull punches.

I’m reading Your Money or Your Life now.

How about The Automatic Millionaire? I love the way it gets you considering ways to build wealth without thinking about it.

thanks for the suggestions guys! added the ones that I think will be a great addition to the list. the rest I’ll have to check out and flip through.

sd: well we’ll need an email address so we know where to send the book if you get selected. submitting the story in the form won’t automatically post it on the site or anything, it’s just a submission form to us :)

btw your boyfriend is a lucky bastard :) although the bike probably would have been a better purchase in the long run.

I was going to leave my story over at the Mint’s site, but I’d have to leave my email and then I wouldn’t be anonymous but it’s pretty funny: I worked as a waitress so I always had cash. I was living in Atlanta, it was summer really hot, I didn’t have a car but would walk to work (25 min walk) and I really wanted a bike to so I wouldn’t get to work so sweaty. I saved up the $350 for a bike, but the Friday before the weekend I was going to buy the bike, I found myself in a strip club with my boyfriend (OK it was probably my idea!), drank too many beers and ended up spending all my $$ on lapdances for the two of us. The next day walking to work, I wanted to cry I was so sweaty and hung over! TRAIN WRECK!

Greed is Good; The Capitalist Pig Guide to Investing by Jonathan Hoenig. It’s the first personal finance book I read, years before I was actually into PF. It’s not all about investing, alot of it deals with trying to stop buying crap to accesorize a “lifestyle” and actually getting out there and living the life. It is a really funny read.

Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” is a fantastic book. I also happen to like the Rich Dad books.

All Your Worth is a great personal finance book that doesn’t come off as trying to sell you something. It’s by the authors of The Two Income Trap, who are advocates against predatory lending and debt, as opposed to “Gurus”. Elizabeth Warren teaches economics at Harvard, and also has the Warren reports website – http://warrenreports.tpmcafe.com/ – which is a great read for issues regarding bankruptcy, the credit industry, and lots of other financial issues.

I like Your money or Your life too, but I really like Die Broke by Steven Pollen and Mark Levine.

They have a sequal but I like the first book better.

Actually, Your Money or Your Life is a pretty decent one. Anything that imparts more consideration for managing money or sorting out priorities in life is a good thing :)

Thanks for the reminder! I haven’t read The Wealthy Barber yet so I’ll check that out add it to the consideration list.

You may want to consider “The Wealthy Barber”
by David Chilton.

Also, “Your Money or Your Life” is a good book but since you are looking for general personal finance books I am not sure if you would be interested in this one.

thanks Randy. I want informative books that either teaches you some good values or tells you practical things to do — so yes that definitely leaves “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” out of the equation. A Random Walk Down Wall Street is definitely a good investment book, but I supposed I wanted a list of more general personal finance book. Either way I’ll consider it. Thanks!

Stuff from the more “popular” writers won’t really be on the list, Orman, Ramsey, Bach, etc.

Basically I want a good list so people can choose from it, and no matter what they choose, they’ll get a great book with lots of value!

How about any number of For Dummies books (Investing, Personal Finance, Home Buying, etc.)? And “A Random Walk Down Wall Street” should be on the list, too. I hope you can resist the temptation to add “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” because that book really is crap.
