I Will Teach You to Be Rich

I've read many fiance books and this one has the foundations of finance, but I find the layout of the information presented and tone prevents it from being any good. There's a ton of other books that will give you the information you need without being pompous and condescending. Additionally, both life and money have layers of complexity and this book would rather complain about them being in poverty being their fault than actually include resources and outreach that could help.

Listen, if you are picking up a finance book then they are already trying to improve. Stop kicking people down.

Don't let this book turn you off to finances, not everyone is like this. Pick up a few different books - try them for free at the library before you decide to buy.
