What I’m Reading in November

As someone who has a degree in business finance, I’m surprised by how little I knew about personal finance. I love nerding out learning about this stuff so I can help our girls better recognize how to give, save, and spend their money wisely.

Starting with the basics like working, spending, saving, and giving, and moving into more challenging issues like avoiding debt for life, paying cash for college, and battling discontentment, Dave and Rachel present a no-nonsense, common sense approach for changing your family tree.

I frequently have friends ask me what I’m reading or what I recommend, so hopefully, these posts are helpful in giving you some ideas. If there’s a certain topic you’re looking for, let me know and I’ll see if I can direct you to a book. 🙂

Being a life-long learner and bookwormish means I read some pretty random things sometimes. I mean, if I run out of stuff, I read the backs of cereal boxes or car magazines. Sometimes it doesn’t even matter if it is stuff I agree with or not. I really think we can learn something from everything.

Here’s my *November Book:

I know there are some people who aren’t a fan of Dave Ramsey and I agree that he can use nicer words but from what I have seen, his principles have worked for a lot of people. I have a lot of thoughts about this which I won’t go into here :p but I’ve read enough to understand that everyone who teaches this stuff whether it’s to get out of debt, gain financial success, to have more to give, or to retire early, the general principles are all the same.

While I know how hard my parents worked, they never learned how to teach about money because they didn’t have a lot growing up. That’s another story for another day, but I hope to gain some insights on how my girls can create good money habits to be able to be generous with what they have when they’re out on their own.
