Best Books to Read to Get Richer
Changing your financial situation isn’t easy.
It isn’t a quick ‘5 minute fix’. It takes time. We all know that habits are hard to break, it takes focus and dedication but it can be done!
Changing your financial future can be tackled in key ways; either saving more money by reducing costs, or making more money. There’s lots of good information out there, however researching which method and path is best for you personally can be a challenge in itself.
Money is still a relatively taboo subject when talking to friends or family, which means that many of us have unanswered questions and we don’t know where to find the answers. I was chatting with a client recently after we had just finished refinancing his home loan and he said “Edwena, having money isn’t everything but it does make it a less stressful life”. We went on to chat about how reading finance related books is an easy avenue to help change your money mindset.
And that’s why I wanted to tell you about the best books for you to read, to give you the education and mindset to allow you to make the best decisions to help you get richer.
How many people do you know that are actively taking steps to change their money habits and money mindset to build wealth and preserve wealth? If you’re not on your own list, why not? What would it take for you to really get started?
If you want to change your habits to build wealth, then reading to become smarter about money is an easy way to start. And with a library card it’s relatively cheap too! All it takes is time, dedication and persistence.
