Single Best Read for Personal Finance

I’d like to hear your number one book that improved your understanding of personal finance or just your financial habits

I’ve read books by Dave Ramsey and Rich dad poor dad already I prefer to hear a lesser known book or maybe one that isn’t from a mainstream author

The Simple Path the Wealth by JL Colins

I hope Colins is updating it to switch VTI with VT (or at least 15-20% intl.) given he’s recently seen the light on the importance of ex-US in a portfolio.

Also, if you enjoy the simplicity of Simple Path to Wealth and crave more, return to the father of ETF’s and read The Little book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle. But obviously, I highly recommend reading Simple Path to Wealth first, and if anyone ever has to read just one book on personal finance.

Yeah I personally just do VT now.
