1. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill, a renowned journalist, interviewed over 500 successful millionaires and philanthropists, we are talking about the likes of Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, and Charles M. Schwab, just to mention a few. He undertook this task to discover their millionaire secrets. His discoveries led to the release of this 1937 bestseller self-development book. Think and Grow Rich is timeless! It is my personal favorite classic financial book that makes you understand the relationship between money and mindset, which I find so important. A person's mindset is very grand and can prevent you from increasing your riches. The book helps you learn to suppress the art of overpowering psychological obstacles and begin thinking your way to success. The book also narrows down wealth generation into 13 steps which you should read and find out in case you haven't already. The power of your thoughts, followed by putting them into action, is where you should start. In his book, he says that greed is good as long as you are willing to share your wealth. "You have to want money and be so determined to have it so that you convince yourself that you will have it" such powerful words! don't you think?
For those who appreciate index funds, take a closer look at this book. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing concentrates on effective and easy ways of accumulating your wealth through investing in low-cost index funds. John C. Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group was the creator of the world's first index fund. What I respect about him is that he created a financial product for the people. In his book, he presents you with compelling reasons for why you should invest in the low-cost index fund, and dodge market bubbles. He also makes it known that these low-cost index funds are diversified and cost-efficient. Investing in the low-cost index fund means that both you and the company win. Rather than purchasing individual stocks, John Bogle exemplifies that it's much more beneficial to acquire all the stocks in a particular index, group, industry, or country. Indexing exceeds the majority of mutual funds, and this is why he is insisting on this. Additionally, the fees in index funds are also much lower as compared to others because they don't have expensive offices or managers. This is something to think about and try. So, check out the book and decide for yourself.
The classic book, The Millionaire Next Door, was written by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko and first published in 1996. The authors classified people in American households with a net worth of $ 1 million or more as Accumulators of Wealth, with a low net wealth compared to their earnings. They then gave them directions to help them obtain a greater net worth as opposed to their income. This book dives deep into how millionaires in America became rich in seven requisite steps. What I took home from this book is the simple approach of spending less than what you are earning. To me, this implied avoiding impulse buying and also broadening my investments. The author of The Millionaire Next Door also found out that most millionaires live very humble lives. It's only 1% of their flashy millionaire peers' lives, that make them look bad. Most Millionaires are wise spenders who don't excessively spend. You'll find that the most common car that they own is a pickup truck, not a Ferrari. The book, The Next Millionaire Next Door is a recent followup of The Millionaire Next Door which is just as intriguing.
