For anyone looking for a basic grasp on finances and how to manage your money, Ramit Sethi’s “I Will Teach You to Be Rich,” is an absolute must read. It is clear, concise and even funny.
Sethi takes complex, highly disputed topics, such as investing and budgeting, and gives the reader a basic overview and the most important takeaways. He develops a realistic six week program to help the financially clueless get their finances in order and save for the future. From picking out a credit card, to getting out of debt, and setting up a Roth IRA, Sethi has got you covered with the most efficient practices.
“I Will Teach You to Be Rich” is not only informative, but it is also highly entertaining. Sethi’s sense of humor keeps what can be considered rather boring subjects interesting, which is admirable and hard to do. How many books about finances and investments will actually make you laugh out loud?
The title “I Will Teach You to Be Reach” is misleading, since Sethi’s main focus is teaching you how to be smart with your money, instead of making you a millionaire. However, for those looking to learn the basics of money management, this book is definitely worth reading and will keep you financially savvy and intrigued.
