These are some great books. These are the personal finance books that should be on everyone’s nightstand.

I am an avid searcher of used nonfiction books. But Amazon charges a flat $3.99 shipping per book, so I try to find my books locally. But then my local Goodwill stores generally charge $4.99 for hardcover books and $3.;99 for softcover, so it’s hard to walk out the door with a good book for under $4 or $5.

A couple weeks ago I got a copy of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for 75 cents.

I’m not sure I would have put “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” on the list. I read it along with a couple of the Rich Dad follow-up books and they are certainly great motivational tools, but I think the practicality of the advice leaves a lot to be desired.

I totally agree on “Millionaire Next Door”! It helped me reconcile what common sense told me the path to wealth was to what pop culture makes us think it is.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is quite possibly one of the most eye opening books I have ever read. I only wish I had run across it about 5 years sooner.

The problem with Kiyosaki is that he lied. It is a parable, not a true story. A few of his ideas also fit with the “get rich with nothing down” stuff they sell on overnight infomercials.

He has a great point on “wait to buy until you can pay for it from your investment earnings,” but that could have been said without the lies. I have read several of his books and I suspect that the his exaggerations are a part of his personality, unfortunately.

Your summary of The Millionaire Next Door was correct. That is a great book and I will be visiting amazon this week to buy it for under a dollar. THANKS for this post!

@Lazy
yep, I know, I have some major qualms with the book myself, but I also think he touches on some very important things that helped me a lot…

Prepare for the onslaught of people saying you are crazy for including “best” and “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” in the same post.
