    I’ve recently finished reading Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam and it was a really good read! It is a title I would highly recommend to anyone who is just starting out on their journey to better manage their personal finances and get started on investing, as it covers quite a broad range of topics and is also a motivating read which will probably inspire you to read more books / websites to hone your skills further.
    As quite a number of you have written to me asking for book recommendations on personal finance and investing, I thought I’ll take this chance to also curate a list of my favourite titles thus far:

    Disclaimer: I was recently given a copy of Millionaire Teacher by the author himself to read with no obligation to post about the book. All opinions stated here are that of my own, and I have added it as top of the list for local investors as I feel it is simple and digestible enough for complete beginners while encouraging you to start and read up on more books after you’re done.

    Are there any other books that you’ve read and feel are a must-read for investors? Do leave me a comment if you have other titles to recommend, and I might just read it to see if it should be added to the list!
    With love,
    Budget Babe
