one of the best easy to read book on financial planning. This like "The Alchemist" of finance.

The best book I've ever read is this children's book. I read the children's book when I was little. (I'm 50+). I did it while living well. Read 40 years ago. I'm a millionaire. 1. Pay yourself first. 10% off the top, then pay bills, then spend extra cash. 2. Let your children earn money for you (think compound interest.) 3. Invest in what you know. Don't gamble. Simple advice and easy to follow.
The Richest Man in Babylon by Robert B Goodman | Jan 1, 1974 (Hard to find this children's book. but it is the single most defining moment in my life.)

Un pur délice ce livre que j'ai envie de lire et relire, c'est mon livre de chevet. L'auteur donne la recette pour sortir de la pauvreté financière et devenir riche à travers l'histoire de l'homme le plus riche de Babylone. Ce que j'ai aimé dans ce livre c'est l'histoire passionnante de cet homme esclave sans le sou qui appliquera ces lois pour devenir l'homme le plus riche.

Tired of being broke!
Love the parable style of writing. Most books about money just throws numbers around and that bores me. The stories used in the book captured my attention. I actually learned something about money!

Some good information but the important step is the implementation. The advice is quite simple
