Sound Advice

This book helped me so much in my mid 20's and reviewing it again years later helped to reinforce many of the financial decisions I've made along the way.

Fantastic starter book for basic personal Finance

This book covers buying a house, 401k, ira and other basic financial topics. If you are an advanced investor this book won't offer much past basics.

Easy smart listen

Good book for everyone to learn a basic understanding of financial responsibility and future planning.
I'll be doing some more research on consolidating large expenses and charity to every other year so you get a better deal on your itemized deductions of your taxes. Wish they went into more detail on this but just their brief touch on it spurns some curiosity to do some more research.
