Wealth without Risk by Charles Givens. That was the first financial book I read after I finished college. It opened my eyes to investing and led me to buy my first mutual fund. That was a while back! It led me to read more and more financial books and I have loved doing our family finances ever since. I rode the wave up with the Internet bubble and back down – all the way down. I realized I was not educated enough in the companies behind the stocks to invest too much in them. I also tried a business and that was short lived. However, I did succeed in Real Estate and so far we are on track to use the RE portfolio as a retirement fund one day. Just one little book that inspires one to do so much is worth every penny!

Rich Dad poor Dad… It emphasized the importance of entrepenuership, and having a diverse array of investments. Since reading it togethermy husband and I have started our own small buisness, invested in real estate and are now buying sticks while they are still on sale. Needless to say it gave us a kick start, and we enjoyed the read.

The Bible. Hands down! Proverbs is full of information on money. Did you know that money is discussed so many times in the Scripture that is is one of the most talked about subjects in the Bible. Read it for yourself. Can’t get any better than this!

Though some of the tips may arguably now be dated, I always liked Charles Givens’ “Wealth Without Risk” just because it was the first book to motivate me to take control of my finances.

I enjoyed “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” very much. I don’t read many books on finance, I find that I get more usable information from sites like yours that go directly to the issues and answers.

Many noteable books on my bookshelf have been mentioned by others. Another one to add is “The Storehouse Principle” by Al Jandl and Van Crouch. It teaches how to be good stewards, and to master your money instead of being slave to money.
We are blessed to be a blessing.
