all the forbidden money books are there, and that will launch you far ahead of everyone and give you an unfair advantage. I recommend Hidden Art of Manipulating Minds
My husband and I read the Millionaire Next Door 30 years ago, and the guidance changed our life. We lived within our means, didn’t go into debt, lived in regular houses with regular cars, maxed out our workplace 401k accounts. We are financially independent with no money worries. Daily habits over a lifetime compound with the same interest as does money invested!
My grandma's name is Susan 😃 and that's actually exactly how she and my grandpa lived so we kinda reaping the rewards now (but not taking advantage 🙏🏾)

The Psychology of Money was life changing for me, I read that book in July I believe. It made everything so easy to understand and proved that complex, gatekept concepts like investing are so simple now that we don't have to put a suit on and travel to London to meet a stockbroker. You can invest from your bed just using your phone. One of the lines that stuck with me was "when people say 'I want a million dollars ', they actually mean 'I want to spend a million dollars '" And that being rich isn't owning lots of stuff. It's owning lots of stuff that keeps you from building wealth.
My opinion “The Psychology of Money” and “The Simple Path to Wealth” are the only two books you need starting from scratch. One covers the “nuts and bolts” and the other covers the behavior side of money better than any other book I’ve read.
Totally agree with you on this one. The Psychology of Money was also life changing for me. If understood carefully, it can really help to leverage the lessons learned in other areas of life.
"Your money or your life" saved my life. I was $40k in debt living paycheck to paycheck with zero savings and no plan. By following the advice in it I got out of debt, bought a home and started saving and investing. I ended up retiring at 46, have everything paid off and a nice portfolio of investments. The parts about figuring out what you have made so far in life and letting go of old bad choices are critical. Minimalism was just a happy part of it that was so freeing that it was almost worth more than other parts.
@@em77775 It took almost 20 years. My spouse was in grad school so we had 2 households of bills soon after we started which added to the burden and would not have been possible if we hadn't started serious efforts. Our combined income was below $100k for most of it and I only broke $100k one year before I retired by myself.
Rich Dad Poor Dad was the very first book I read about money. It was an eye opener. After that the Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel teaches timeless lessons based on real life stories.
The compound effect and rich dad poor dad changed my life and those are the book I always recommend to people. Along with Brian Tracy's "Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life" . Thats my number 1!
It’s easy to listen to you, it’s easy to believe everything your speaking your style & skill in your videos are enlightening, thank you brother for your videos
Totally loved that one . First because it’s set in a unique era or time abit fairy tale but really shows you how the basics of finance have been the same since the beginning of time. Second because it’s simple and easy to understand and very relatable to everyday life. Third because it’s entertaining and relaxing because it’s in an era where time was slower nowadays things are so fast that your head spins 😊
My all-time favourite money book is "Simple Path to Wealth". This is the book that started my investing journey from a newbie. Also here is what I have learnt through experience: Trust in the power of compounding, Resist the temptation to make money quick - slow and steady is the way to go, Ignore bad news (bad news catches more attention than good news) - bad news leads to selling.
*Some of the non-tech that I think are positioned to go really up are Home Depot, Delta Airlines, Pool Corp, etc. I'II be rooting for these stocks, and have set aside almost $200k for that. Having issues now with how to allocate capital, and to know if my projections are right based on technical observations.*
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so l'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you.
@@BeanCruisers I think this book was the first I’d heard of the concept of lifestyle inflation. And it was laid out so simply. The author gave an example of knowing someone who began making more money and shortly after took on more expenses and was living paycheck to paycheck. It was a simple way to drive home the point of simplistic living.
I think I Will Teach you to be Rich, Millionaire Next Door, Simple Path to Wealth, Your Money or Your Life, and Total Money Makeover (though I’m not a fan of the religious aspect and don’t necessarily agree with 100% of it) should be absolutely mandatory reading or listening for literally everyone. Of course there are a lot of other real estate books I could add as well but those aren’t necessarily for everyone. If I could only pick one it would be I Will Teach You to be Rich. It has almost everything and the audiobook is also great.
The 4 Hour Work Week was such a paradigm shift for me, it got me starting to challenge conventional wisdom and look where I can make a disproportionate impact relative to input. Turning Pro by Steven Pressfield has helped me in the early days of starting a youtube channel: nobody is watching, nobody wants to consume your content, keep showing up and improving til your content is worth watching! Great list Gabe!
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.
The Adviser I'm in touch with is *'Nolan Velden Brent'* , He works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me his strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
A cautionary word about rentals. They work really well in some environments but in lower income areas where jobs may be unstable and or subject to frequent layoffs rental units may not be a good investment. Do your research. There are always ways to get ahead in any environment. Love the videos.
57 and starting over.. so excited. So far the 4 hour work week is my bible and totally shifted my outlook. looking forward to reading some others you recommend here. My current job is 100k a year but I am so over working for other people.
I believe in you, you still have a chance to change your life completely. Stay consistent, and stay curious. Best of luck, and I’m wishing you great wins!
Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.
I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000
Great video!!! Ironic, everything i was taught as a youth, is now wrong 🤣 1. Get a formal education = (you'll have college debt for life $$$$$$$) 2. get a 9-5 job = (you'll be a wage slave for the rest of your life) 3. get married= (you will end up divorced and destitute.) 4. have kids = (you will be broke, until your kids are adults. by then, you'll be to old to accumulate wealth.) you know, makes me think i should have been a self- centered, narcissistic A-hole when i was 20, and I wouldn't have all the problems I have. 😂😂
Make Your Bed by William McCraven, this is the first one that I ever read and it helped me to start realizing that I needed some changes. Whether it come to habits or money or emotions. It was a good starter book for me on my minimal/financial/ emotional journey. I don't know how it is for you gentleman out there, but for us ladies there's a lot of emotional attachments too.
The problem with most financial books is that they teach surface level concepts unrelated to actual finance and or just someone's opinion and it doesn't really help. It would be much more beneficial to read material about different investments, pensions, and the account types that relate to where you live. If you don't understand basic finances and math reading all these books is pointless.
nice work bro keep on spreading knowledge like this. i am 21 years old and i have read 57 books on finance including all the above books few years ago .
It's probably not true for most people, and it's certainly not the same as growing a business with employees, but I have found owning my own job has been really good for my mental health
It's admirable that you are extremely frugal yet finding fulfilment in creative ways. Being frugal is a happy choice of lifestyle that brings character and personality beyond financial measures. One more book to consider is "The total money makeover" by Dave Ramsey, with the following takeaways: "For your own good, for the good of your family and your future, grow a backbone. When something is wrong, stand up and say it is wrong, and don't back down. "We buy things that we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like"
Im grateful to all this three books Think and grow rich, Rich dad poor dad and The richest man in Babylon, i can proudly say im winning in life because of them...
5:24 - Money is Energy - On a summer holiday in Spain a handful years ago I talked with a fellow traveler, he always converted spent money/money about to be spend into travel days. A $1000 will bring you 3 weeks of travel in Spain. (Hostel - budget travel, that is). That was to calm that impulse buying-feeling we humans get sometimes. It worked for him.
Great video! As always! Would you happen to be on bigger pockets money podcast? If yes can you share episode number? If not I bet it would be awesome to hear your full story in more details 🙂
Great books but you did miss The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape. This is a really good and practical finance book. It’s Australian so may be why it was missed but the concepts and suggestions are transferable.
Highly recommend Financial Mindset. Is written by a therapist to help you explore your believes around money and overcome them if they are limiting your ability to have a healthy relationship with money. Great self relection book.
Great recommendations, I’ve read several of them, but will take note for the other ones. Have you read Die With Zero? It is a gives a brilliant perspective from spending balance.
Picked up a few new books to add to my TBR list. Thanks! I'm reading I Will Teach You To Be Rich right now after watching his Netflix show and listening to his podcast for a few months. I like his approach of defining your rich life first so that you can decide how you want to allocate funds and cut back on what doesn't align with your rich life. I appreciate where you're coming from with wanting to live more frugally and having a more developed budget. It just isn't for me, and I really like Ramit's system.
I have read many books and I have enjoyed most of them. I usually flip through them because I find the info/advice in them very repetitive. I was able to retire early, but not because of any advice from any of the books. Real estate, ETFs, Roth, cutting down on lattes, inheritance, being frugal, owning business, selling something - none of them helped me. I'm still looking for a book that may hint towards the way I got to financially independent.
I'll try to make it short. First 10 years of working hard in US visa issues kept me from investing and going to school and getting a better job. The next 12-15 years I bought and held real estate ofcourse as it felt safer and easier to understand for someone who has no idea what they are doing. I got out of one of the homes at the end of 2019 and put the money into the market where the stocks went crazy in 2020-2021. 2023 I got rid of 2nd property and again put money into market as there were stocks at discount. Selling property #3 now and simply renting. The properties were bought to live in, not investments. None of the properties appreciated. Had I put the exact same money, that went into buying and holding the properties, into the market, I would have retired long ago. I never had a retirement offered at any of my jobs, so I didn't visually see or recognize how many grows or not. It was easier to see and understand home prices. Formerly house equity moving up over $100k in a month in the market was a quite shocking, but I learned to take it as normal if invested in growth stocks. Staying away from real estate for now. @@beisser03
even if people managed to get to FIRE, it's probably not a great idea to retire, Retiring from a 100k per year job is like giving up a 2 million worth of wealth. For most people, the age of 40-60 is called the harvesting stage in their career, Of course, they can keep working extra hard and climb to a C-suite role, however, most are just auto-crushing once they reach a certain level in their career. I question sometimes, do we really want to retire when we can just take more holidays while still working. However, for someone in their 20s and achieving FIRE, by all means, they should start trying to climb over to the self-employed and Business owner quadrant, My children will be more likely to start off in a different quadrant, but for me, am too late and have too little energy to pursue. I believe wealth takes generations to build.
"Money Cosmos" is one of the best books you will find on the internet about money, it is so great I can not believe people havent red it alredy, it is straight to the point, unfortunatley you cant find author of this book..
I’m 23 years old studying to get my real estate license in Florida. Eventually I want to be a real estate investor and retired financially by the age of 35. I want to be able to travel and retired my parents. But I want to secure my future so I’m just now looking into index funds and savings accounts that give you compound interest
Good for you! I’m currently 31 years old just starting to educate myself financially. I wish more than anything I knew about this stuff 10 years ago. Start compounding that interest asap! Good luck to you :)
Hi im 52 almost 53. What advice do you have for me now at this age.. i dont have 30 years lol love to retire early but no idea about how to invest. Definitely living paycheck to paycheck on one income.. ty
It's incredible to see how your dedication to personal finance and the knowledge you've gained from these books have led you to financial independence! I appreciate the effort you've put into summarizing these valuable recommendations. One key takeaway I appreciate from your video is the idea that "money is energy." It's a thought-provoking perspective that encourages us to be more mindful about how we use our financial resources. I'd love to know, out of all the books you mentioned, which one had the most significant impact on your financial mindset, and how did it change your approach to money and life in general?
Great vid...yes, "coffee is life!"😂😂 I totally just sub-ed! I've read the Millionaire next door, The Psychology of money, Rich Dad, Poor Dad...great books. I need to read some of the others you've suggested.
🎉Great video. We are all seeking financial independence and a better way of life. This is not difficult to achieve with savvy investing, a frugal lifestyle, and cautious budgeting. I'm glad I learned early on to work hard for financial independence. As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor, my wife and I never earned more than a middle-class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $1.7M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock.
I would love to connect with anyone here who’s interested in continual growth of wealth and hear what you’ve done to help you get on the road to financial freedom.
4:28 sorry bud but that is not correct. At 11.9% $1000 would be $90,000 ($33,000 after inflation) after 40 years Turning $1000 into a million in 40 years requires an annual return of 18.9% every year. So maybe you meant $10,000 but even that requires 12.2% which is tough. Maybe $40,000 into 1Mil at 8.4% is the reasonable thing
all the forbidden money books are there, and that will launch you far ahead of everyone and give you an unfair advantage. I recommend Hidden Art of Manipulating Minds
That book made me financially independent
it's kinda crazy how nobody's talking about the forbidden ebook called Secret Pathway to Triumph
The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
My husband and I read the Millionaire Next Door 30 years ago, and the guidance changed our life. We lived within our means, didn’t go into debt, lived in regular houses with regular cars, maxed out our workplace 401k accounts. We are financially independent with no money worries.

That’s awesome! A lot of wealth it’s just been consistent
My grandma's name is Susan 😃 and that's actually exactly how she and my grandpa lived so we kinda reaping the rewards now (but not taking advantage 🙏🏾)
So index fund is real?
Wow that’s awesome. Were you both very disciplined or was this something you got stronger in over time?

Two other great books are Grant Sabatier's Financial Freedom and Kristy Shen's and Bryce Leung's Quit like a Millioaire.
The greatest book on personal finance is the Bible. Especially the book of Proverbs.

Great video! As always! Would you happen to be on bigger pockets money podcast? If yes can you share episode number? If not I bet it would be awesome to hear your full story in more details 🙂
I have not been on there. Still waiting for an invitation lol 😂
brilliant video, thank you
Your math is way off. $1000 invested 40 years ago would be around $100k in 2020. Not $1MM.
Great book list. A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger is a good book for new investors.
4 hour work week is awesome, especially if it's the updated version.
I love he did all the reading and I just need to watch his video to learn.
Saves you a few hundred hours
I recognise this video idea 😊
Completely original lol 😂
“ Rich men of North Richmond”
is popular because the gov is taxing hard working people too much.
Great books but you did miss The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape. This is a really good and practical finance book. It’s Australian so may be why it was missed but the concepts and suggestions are transferable.
Brilliant as always 💚 I live in Canada so a lot of things are a going to be different. But I will definitely check out the books
They are still great principles for sure
As a fellow Canadian, I recommend Gail Vaz-Oxlade’s no nonsense money books
Only one thing will make you rich. Spending less than earning and not saving your earnings in money.
I’ve read and love several of these books but I’m excited to read a few more that you’ve mentioned! Great summaries to help me pick which one next 😊
Awesome! Hope it helps
Highly recommend Financial Mindset. Is written by a therapist to help you explore your believes around money and overcome them if they are limiting your ability to have a healthy relationship with money. Great self relection book.
Can you confirm the author is Joyce Marter, LCPC?
Great video. I read most of the books already but added three new books to my reading list. Thanks.
Great recommendations, I’ve read several of them, but will take note for the other ones. Have you read Die With Zero? It is a gives a brilliant perspective from spending balance.
Yes he has and he’s still pushing people to save it all and than nursing homes take it. Bad job.
Picked up a few new books to add to my TBR list. Thanks! I'm reading I Will Teach You To Be Rich right now after watching his Netflix show and listening to his podcast for a few months. I like his approach of defining your rich life first so that you can decide how you want to allocate funds and cut back on what doesn't align with your rich life. I appreciate where you're coming from with wanting to live more frugally and having a more developed budget. It just isn't for me, and I really like Ramit's system.
I have Subscribed because I was just thinking that someone should do this exact thing and then you came up😊 Crazy
Read good books and talk about them...
Astro Money Alchmey book full of financial secrets and money making tips
I have read many books and I have enjoyed most of them. I usually flip through them because I find the info/advice in them very repetitive. I was able to retire early, but not because of any advice from any of the books. Real estate, ETFs, Roth, cutting down on lattes, inheritance, being frugal, owning business, selling something - none of them helped me. I'm still looking for a book that may hint towards the way I got to financially independent.
Would you be keen to share how you did it?
I'll try to make it short. First 10 years of working hard in US visa issues kept me from investing and going to school and getting a better job. The next 12-15 years I bought and held real estate ofcourse as it felt safer and easier to understand for someone who has no idea what they are doing. I got out of one of the homes at the end of 2019 and put the money into the market where the stocks went crazy in 2020-2021. 2023 I got rid of 2nd property and again put money into market as there were stocks at discount. Selling property #3 now and simply renting. The properties were bought to live in, not investments. None of the properties appreciated. Had I put the exact same money, that went into buying and holding the properties, into the market, I would have retired long ago. I never had a retirement offered at any of my jobs, so I didn't visually see or recognize how many grows or not. It was easier to see and understand home prices. Formerly house equity moving up over $100k in a month in the market was a quite shocking, but I learned to take it as normal if invested in growth stocks. Staying away from real estate for now. @@beisser03
Love seeing personal libraries
I've read tons of similar but one need to ACT on it too:)
Find the book titled Secret Pathway to Triumph. You'll learn all the money attraction techniques there. Trust me on this.
I’m reading the Millionaire Fast-lane, I had read Rich Dad, Poor Dad as well.
Great stuff. Reading is good. Today I’m going to read.
even if people managed to get to FIRE, it's probably not a great idea to retire, Retiring from a 100k per year job is like giving up a 2 million worth of wealth. For most people, the age of 40-60 is called the harvesting stage in their career, Of course, they can keep working extra hard and climb to a C-suite role, however, most are just auto-crushing once they reach a certain level in their career. I question sometimes, do we really want to retire when we can just take more holidays while still working. However, for someone in their 20s and achieving FIRE, by all means, they should start trying to climb over to the self-employed and Business owner quadrant, My children will be more likely to start off in a different quadrant, but for me, am too late and have too little energy to pursue. I believe wealth takes generations to build.
"Money Cosmos" is one of the best books you will find on the internet about money, it is so great I can not believe people havent red it alredy, it is straight to the point, unfortunatley you cant find author of this book..
I’m 23 years old studying to get my real estate license in Florida. Eventually I want to be a real estate investor and retired financially by the age of 35. I want to be able to travel and retired my parents. But I want to secure my future so I’m just now looking into index funds and savings accounts that give you compound interest
Good for you! I’m currently 31 years old just starting to educate myself financially. I wish more than anything I knew about this stuff 10 years ago. Start compounding that interest asap! Good luck to you :)
My recommendation to all beginners would be to go to Borlest cause
great video!
Great video, thanks for sharing the best summaries!
Hi im 52 almost 53. What advice do you have for me now at this age.. i dont have 30 years lol love to retire early but no idea about how to invest. Definitely living paycheck to paycheck on one income.. ty
It's incredible to see how your dedication to personal finance and the knowledge you've gained from these books have led you to financial independence! I appreciate the effort you've put into summarizing these valuable recommendations. One key takeaway I appreciate from your video is the idea that "money is energy." It's a thought-provoking perspective that encourages us to be more mindful about how we use our financial resources.
I'd love to know, out of all the books you mentioned, which one had the most significant impact on your financial mindset, and how did it change your approach to money and life in general?
It’s all different ones rich dad poor dad the 4 hour work week and the millionaire fastlane
I allocated additional time in my schedule to listen to your advice today. I appreciate your assistance!
40 Books and eureka!!!! Make RUclips videos on how to get rich! 💡
Great list. Thank you!
Think and grow Rich
The Barefoot Investor changed my life
I'll check that out!
I liked your video and highlights of the various books. Yes... “coffee is life”.😊
Are you a big coffee fan?
no haircuts, no going out, cheap clothes. I don't give up the coffee.
One I'm reading right now is Girls that invest. It has so many valuable insights!! I also liked Psychology of money and rich dad poor dad
How is "Girls That Invest" going?
"Secrets of a millionaire mind" T. HARV EKHART. Great book if you grew up poor or impoverished
Thought that was brilliant. The redundant marketing ploys can be slightly annoying but the value of the book far outweighs that
@@dreamchaser57588
Great list 👌
Thanks!
Great vid...yes, "coffee is life!"😂😂 I totally just sub-ed! I've read the Millionaire next door, The Psychology of money, Rich Dad, Poor Dad...great books. I need to read some of the others you've suggested.
🎉Great video. We are all seeking financial independence and a better way of life. This is not difficult to achieve with savvy investing, a frugal lifestyle, and cautious budgeting. I'm glad I learned early on to work hard for financial independence. As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor, my wife and I never earned more than a middle-class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $1.7M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock.
Good video! But I find it odd you didn’t say the authors’ names
Step 1: Earn a lot more money than you spend.
Step 2: Profit.
What about The Bitcoin Standard?
Another excellent video much appreciated. Adding to my personal investment list😊
I would love to connect with anyone here who’s interested in continual growth of wealth and hear what you’ve done to help you get on the road to financial freedom.
11:55 empowering quote
How are you using the quote?
4:28 sorry bud but that is not correct.
At 11.9% $1000 would be $90,000 ($33,000 after inflation) after 40 years
Turning $1000 into a million in 40 years requires an annual return of 18.9% every year. So maybe you meant $10,000 but even that requires 12.2% which is tough. Maybe $40,000 into 1Mil at 8.4% is the reasonable thing
I came here to ask the same question - Gabe, can you explain what you meant by this or if it was a miscalculation? Thanks!
I am transferring my skills from home more to work instead of juggling so much.
Thank you ❤
