Finance Books:
(Too many to list!) *I always use thriftbooks now to purchase books, they’re so much cheaper & since they’re second hand, it’s better for the environment too. Other thrift or second-hand book stores are great too, or the library! Better than giving Amazon or Barnes & Noble more money & creating more demand for brand new books.

- Quit Like A Millionaire- By Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung -If you only read one of these books, pick this one.
- Rich Dad’s Retire Young, Retire Rich: How to Get Rich Quickly and Stay Rich Forever! -This is the book I read in 2017 that made me realize I could retire early, I didn’t even know that was an option. It was the first personal finance book I think I ever read.
