5 Great Personal Finance Books
Most people don’t learn about managing their own money in school. In fact, most personal finance experts are self-taught.
At The LevelUp, our goal is to be your #1 resource for developing that skill while taking up as little of your daily schedule as possible.
But if you have some extra time you’d like to spend on on mastering your money, books are a great additional resource that can offer even deeper insights.
Here’s our top 5 books on personal finance so you can keep expanding your money managing playbook.
1. The Richest Man in Babylon – George S. Clason

2. The Automatic Millionaire – David Bach
All about automating your finances. Bach’s system is simple and sets up your savings to grow with as little direct management as possible.
3. I Will Teach You to Be Rich – Ramit Sethi
