Finance Books

[MikyMouse]

Thought that I'd start a thread which focuses on good finance books to read:

Maya on Money - Maya Fisher-French
Good introduction to money matters, starts from the very basics

Become Your Own Financial Advisor - Warren Ingram
A good book to read after the above. Builds on the basics with some more advanced concepts

How much is enough? - Andrew Bradley and Arun Abey
Deals with retirement, has both tactile financial advice as well as more philosophical topics

If you read one book, make it this one: Tony Robbins - Money: Master the Game

It's American based, and he talks about American products and services, but the lessons and principals are universal.

Seriously, read it. Read it now.

Not really a finance book or any kind of instruction manual, but Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt by Michael Lewis was a good read.

American? How's its relevance to the SA Investing market or is the info general enough?

General enough. John Bogle is the founder of Vanguard.
