Once again I found a great book for a 20-40 year old.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi 2nd edition

Talks about how to set yourself up for success as a young person it the terms of a 6 week plan

Discusses credit score, credit cards, wise use of them, and how to get the most out of them without getting in trouble with them.

Talks about setting up a brokerage account, funding, automating regular contributions, and talks about which investments to pick (low cost mutual funds)

Rails a bit about banks and financial advisors.

Talks about conscious spending in stead of a strict budget that no one can maintain.

Gives rationales for his advice in a conventional tone that is not boring and is entertaining.

Overall a great read. Perhaps not much meat for a 60 year old but I feel like it is the kind of advice you’d give your kid or young relative for whom you wanted to see them succeed.

You can give them the tools but it’s up to them to do the work

You can’t care more than they do.

Bonanza, I hear you on that.
