Reading personal finance books is an accessible way to learn because its affordable, self-paced, and focused on your personal goal(s). Often times you can find books at a fraction of the price at a local second hand store and even online from various retailers.

Everyone has different goals, so finding a book helps you hone-in on that goal specifically. Once you have the book based on the goal your striving for, you can read it at your leisure. You’ll be able to read and explore thoughts around your goal. If fact, reading the book might give you easy ways to take actionable steps towards your goal. This eliminates the pressure of getting bias or unsolicited advice from other sources.

I choose this book because Jessi seems to explain why, your “why” is important and that living on budget can literally save your financial life. I’ll come back with my thoughts once I finish the book, but thought I share more about how I personally continue to expand my practice within personal finance.
