Best Overall: Why Didn’t They Teach Me This in School?
So, what can you tell me about mitochondria? What about chlorophyll? Schools have done an amazing job in teaching us about various different topics that later propelled us towards different careers. Some of us became mechanics, others went to medical school while others still played sports. But school sure didn’t teach us anything about finances!
It’s assumed that we learn these things at home, but do any of you remember sitting down with your parents to talk about budgeting or 401(k) accounts?
That’s where Cary Siegel’s “Why Didn’t They Teach Me This in School: 99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live By” comes in handy. Though Siegel has an MBA from the University of Chicago, this book is easily digestible and to the point.
It covers the basics, so many consider it’s best for people in their early twenties, but we think everyone could benefit from the nuggets of information sprinkled within. Don’t believe us? We think the biggest statement this book can make is the fact that Siegel also retired at 45. Sounds like a dream, right? Anyone who is able to do that comfortably at such an early age surely knows what they’re talking about.
No matter what age group you’re in, get your hands on “Why Didn’t They Teach Me This in School: 99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live By” and change your financial life for the better, one little problem at a time.
