- The Richest Man in Babylon (George S. Clason) – This is a personal finance classic that uses a fable about a man living in Ancient Babylon to illustrate financial tips. Even though it was written in 1926, it’s still a good, short read for both young and old alike.
- Monkey, Money, Mind (Chris Zadeh, Angelique Schouten) – It is about finding balance in financial planning by understanding how your state of mind and intellect play into your plan.
