Below you’ll find a partial list of worthwhile books I’ve read that relate to personal finance, Pocketmint style. (‘Partial’ because I wasn’t originally keeping track, and so now I’m both adding new books and recalling prior ones. ‘Pocketmint style’ because you’ll see books on subjects from world economics to psychology, when I think they’re relevant.)
At some point I may have the time to provide rankings or synopses and so forth, but so far I’m still trying to find time to complete the list. You’ll note the Amazon affiliate links; buying any of these books from here will help support your hard-working Pocketmint author, yay!
That said, I encourage you to get these books from your local public library instead of purchasing them. That’s what I do! But I can’t link to everyone’s local library, so I figured I might as well put the affiliate links for those folks that prefer to buy rather than borrow.
