I LOVE to read and one of the best ways to become financially literate is to read books about finances. Below I have listed some of my favorite books...some pertain exclusively to finances and money and some go beyond that!

 

 

 
Title:      MONEY AND THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE
Author:  Bruce Helmer
 
I have not read the book yet, I listened to the audio version and it was great! The author gave me a signed copy of this book when I was a guest on his show and judging from that audio version and the author's comments about the book being even better, I am really looking forward to reading this book!




Title:      IT'S A HABIT, SAMMY RABBIT! 

Author:  Sam X. Renick

 

This is the first book in a series called "The Adventures of Sammy the Saver". This book is great because it is ACTION PACKED! There are so many things going on that the book is great to be read over and over. This introductory book in the series introduces children to the concept of saving...in this instance saving carrots...I can't give away the rest of the story!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title:      Will Sammy Ride the World's First Space Coaster?

Author:  Sam X. Renick

 

Another action packed children's book by Mr. Renick! This time Sammy the Saver Rabbit is able to save money, set and reach goals (even with the opposition of his brother) and give money!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title:      GROWING MONEY: A COMPLETE INVESTING GUIDE FOR  KIDS

Author:   Written by Gail Karlitz and created by Debbie Honig

 

 

I would recommend this book for not only kids who will be future investors, but also for adults trying to gain an understanding on how to invest and key elements to investing. This book is interesting with many fun facts about money!
 
 

 

 Title:       YOUR BEST LIFE NOW

Author:   Joel Osteen

 

 

This is one of the most inspiration books that I have ever read! It is the type of book that can pick you up when

 

you are feeling down and encourage to do the right thing when it is the hardest thing to do. If you want to separate yourself for average people and become somebody great, I strongly suggest reading this book!
