3 books we recommend to help you achieve your personal finance goals.
We love a good book - especially when it’s full of great information that can help us improve some aspect of our finances. When it comes to personal finance books, the best ones to read depend on what you're trying to achieve. So whether you need a good starting point, or whether you have big goals you’re ready to tackle - we have a book for you.
Here are three of our favorite books for learning more about achieving your personal finance goals.
For the Visual Learner
Are you a visual learner who hates Excel and needs help figuring out where to start regarding your finances?
The Napkin Finance: Build your wealth in 30 seconds or less, written by Tina Hay, is for you. This impactful and short read uses visual graphics to explain everything from the differences between credit and debit cards to what to consider when planning your retirement. The book focuses on providing learning exercises to support each topic, so readers finish the book with a solid understanding of the topics.
For the Beginner
Are you just getting a grip on your financial situation and need a kick-start?
We recommend the Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping by and Get Your Financial Life Together. This easy-to-read life guidebook by Erin Lowry organizes content for maximum value to the reader. With context upfront on why taking control of your finances matters - plus, practical advice on budgeting, getting "financially naked" with your partner, and taking on student loans. This refreshing take on money will leave the reader with practical steps for improving their finances.

For the Go-Getter
Are you dreaming of being a millionaire?
The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach is our recommended book of choice. The key to the story is the emphasis on the word "automatic" - with specific directions on setting up your finances to move money regularly into savings or investments. If you transfer money immediately into these investment or savings accounts, you don't have to rely on yourself each month to transfer the funds, and you avoid the temptation to spend the money if you see it in your checking account.
