Some books I have found useful in helping me solve my debt issues.
What books would you recommend as a basic resource to manage your money?
I've got a few that have helped me.
The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Classon
I Can Make You Rich by Paul McKenna
Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin (US)
Your Money or Your Life by Alvin Hall (UK)
Transforming Debt into Wealth Your plan for Achieving REAL Financial Independence by John M. Cummuta
As A Man Thinkest by James Allen.
Each has helped in a different way.
The Richest Man in Babylon explains the causes and cure that leads to money abundance in simple language in former and simpler times that allow the pulling away of irrelevant stuff like technology or money markets etc. So that you can understand the points being made. For me the read me idea is that you should pay yourself first a tenth of your income before anyone else. It is a key motivator to feel rewarded for your efforts.
I Can Make You Rich comes with an hypnosis CD which is a great motivation tool and I have found his advice on tackling emotional spending to be worth the cost of the book many hundreds of times over.
Both of the
Your Money or Your Life books address overall attitudes and options for ensuring a financially secure future by looking at all aspects of your life. They are both good but I find the US book more homely.
The
Transforming Debt into Wealth Your plan for Achieving REAL Financial Independence is a workbook that takes you through a process that will enable you to explore your current situation and take the necessary steps to solve your debt issues and come out the other end of the process a better and wealthier person.
The last choice,
As A Man Thinkest, is not directly related to money but it is about how and what we think about is what tends to happen, If we dwell on debt then debt we shall have but if we think on wealth then our minds, being the clever things they are, will work away on the means to achieve wealth and it will begin to see opportunities that were always there but because of our negative thoughts we were blind to. It's not magic and it's not some secret only a few knew about and have made a living from. It's psychology and is now understood from a scientific verifiable basis.
Do you have any recommendations?
