Personal Finance books

debtfreeat40

Can anyone recommend a personal finance book that they have found useful. I’ve been given amazon vouchers and I’d like to buy one, specifically about getting out of debt.

Thanks

Check out Mr Money Mustache's blog. It's not a book but it has lots of tips and inspiring stories!

Personal finance books distilled:
* Pay off your debts
* Control your expenses
* Pay yourself first (meaning define an affordable savings rate for yourself, and put that rate into your savings on payday, before anything else gets paid. Then budget to live within what's left. Most important, those savings are sacred - NEVER TOUCH THEM).
* Increase your income and sources of income
* Let time and compound interest do its work

There, saved you £14.99.

Exactly - but it makes sense to the authors of these books. Especially when you realise that the book is part of their plan to increase their income, and is often a 200 page advert for some subscription newsletter/game/investment club...
