Broke Millennial Takes On Investing: A Beginner’s Guide to Leveling Up Your Money

by Erin Lowry

Millennials are the generation of adults born between 1981 and 1996, and in comparison to previous generations when they were in their 20s and 30s, we are by far the most broke. This, of course, is by no fault of our own.

We’ve experienced a catastrophic recession, as well as skyrocketing costs for food, education, housing, and healthcare all before we’ve reached the age of 40. Needless to say, we’re kinda screwed on a universal level.

However, this doesn’t mean we cannot overcome these obstacles as individuals and Author Erin Lowry has the tools to get you started. She wrote Broke Millenial Takes On Investing: A Beginner’s Guide To Leveling Up Your Money as a step by step guide on how to go from being broke to, well, not being broke anymore. It covers everything from student loan debt and handling money in social situations, to how to properly manage money with your significant other.

The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness

by Dave Ramsey

When we think about money, we tend to put heavy emphasis on how we can get our hands on more of it. Truth be told, we all know that making money is a major key in financial health and freedom.

However, knowing the basics of properly managing the money you already have will make sure you know what to do with an additional income once it does fall into your lap. This means you must have a clear idea of what it takes to pay off debt, secure an emergency fund, save for retirement, and get the ball rolling on a financial increase.

The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey is a great book to get you started on this journey. Ramsey teaches you how to develop a failproof financial plan and even dispels ten of the most common money myths.

Thinking, Fast and Slow

by Daniel Kahneman

Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is not your typical finance-focused book. In this book, Kahneman explains what drives the way we think by breaking down the two systems of the mind: the fast, emotional system, and the slow, logical system.

Because there is such an intense focus on decision making and judgment, Thinking Fast and Slow is a great introductory book for those of you interested in pursuing a career that closely aligns psychology and economics, such as investing, marketing and advertising, and analysis, but has already mastered personal finances.
