Hi Guys,

Looking to get re-engaged with my personal reading and was wondering...what personal finance books do you guys recommend reading?

I have found inspiration and knowledge in:

Stanley and Danko's The Millionaire Next Door
Tom Corley's Rich Habits
Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad
Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income

anything by Jane Bryant Quinn, especially her huge book that I can't remember the name of, it covers everything

I give college graduates and newly married folks Financial Planning for Dummies by Eric Tyson

I read books by Bogle and the Bogleheads

Is there anything particularly new in these kinds of books?

- 15 yr mortgage
- Max your 401K
- Pay yourself first
- Don't eat out much
- No car payments

Stanley and Danko's The Millionaire Next Door

Maybe "The Millionaire Mind" by Stanley - It's a step beyond The Millionaire Next Door, for entrepreneurs.

Depends on the book. Feel free to read "The Millionaire Mind" and then come back and tell us what you think!
