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.
