Hi I have been studying Sharia Law for Islamic interest free finance. I am wanting specific info on their how they get loans and how they go about getting around the interest fees with Australian Banking systems with a compliant leding system and based on the Qur’an and Hadith.

Thankyou! This is happening the NAB are introducing that Muslims get interest free loans. to comply with Sharia law. and the funds will be distributed through various community finance schemes around the country so that is a possitive.

What about “Debt Proof Living” (DPL) and “Live Your Life for Half the Price” (LYL) by Mary Hunt? Those two are my favorites!

DPL shows you the 10/10/80 formula (give 10%, save 10% and live on 80%) and how to use it to pay down debt and save for emergencies and non monthly expenses on your ordinary income.

LYL is a basic “how to” guide that suggests ways to actually live well on 80% of your income.

More info is at debtproofliving.com and you can also find her newsletter and books at your local library!

Awesome idea – awesome site.

My TOP FIVE Money books of all time, in the order that they are supposed to be read. . .

1. Richest Man in Babylon (you got it)
2. Die Broke
3. Your Money or your Life (you got it)
4. Millionaire Next Door (you got it)

and for #5, the best “how to and what is” book that I have found. . . “The truth about Money” (Ric Edielmann, 3rd edition).. . .although, Ramsey’s “money makeover” is running close.

I also like hte “the Millionair Mind” by Stanley – a lot of no conventional wisdom.

If you need some help with reviews or additional books, email me – I’ve spent 10 years doing this informally and would love to help motivate. . .

Very elaborate and interesting compilation of Personal Finance books! Thanks … I would also include Napoleon Hills’ “Think and Grow Rich”, it’s an all-time classic and evergreen book.

When I look at this URL, I can’t see any books between 16 and 21. Is there something wrong? Anyone else having this problem?

“My Total Money Makeover” by Dave Ramsey is a great book. I am a visual learner- His website has helped my husband and I establish our future financially. I would recommend this to anyone!!

It is great that you are doing this. I have read quite a few financial books myself, but I don’t have time to read all of them. I try to read reviews on Amazon, but that is much more time consuming and hard to find the best ones. I hope you have a chance to read Mutual Fund Wealth Builder and Buckets of Money. Both of those are good books. Rich Dad, Poor Dad of course is a classic. Again, good luck reading and I can’t wait to see the rest of your reviews.

I am sure you get a million suggestions on books to put in your list, but a MUST READ is:

The Four Laws of Debt Free Prosperity by Blaine Harris and Charles Coonradt. This was the “life changer” book that started my wife and I on the prosperous path we now enjoy. We live quite nicely and one income and she goes to college. I highly recommend you check this book out. It can be found on Amazon.com.

Thanks for your great blog.

A book a week. That’s very aggressive. I have a big plan for book reviews too, but I will do very well if I can do one book per month. Perhaps we can compare notes. So far I’ve done two books: The Only Investment Guide You Will Need by Andrew Tobias and The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach.

That’s alot of reading! I may have to ‘not’ look at your blog so I can read them myself first! LOL. :)

I’m in the middle of “The Millionaire Next Door” myself.

Wow that’s outstanding. It’s probably approximately 50 more books than I’ve read in the last 10 years.

I will be looking forward to it each week.
