G'day all,
Synth Boy said it - let's compile a list of books that have been beneficial to us (perhaps with a brief synopsis of each?)
Here's my "Top Five"
Richest Man in Babylon (George Clason) - the basics of life and security, written back in time.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad (Robert Kiyosaki) - my personal "wake-up call" - an easy read that cranks up the brain cells.
Think and Grow Rich (Napolean Hill) - another classic - persistence is the key.
Building Wealth through Investment Property (Jan Somers) - the "nuts and bolts" of property investment written especially for Australians.
Building Wealth, Story By Story - (Jan Somers) - 101 stories of investors, successful and unsuccessful, in an easy-to-read format.
And one that I got from the Library (and still want to buy my own copy if anyone can point me to one), is written by Alan Falkson - the title was something like "How to Invest in Real Estate on a Budget" or "How to Invest in Real Estate Using Other Peoples' Money". A Perth author, set in early '90's - has some unusual (but very successful) ideas for wealth creation.
Yeah, I know that was 6 - but, as Warren Buffett says "There are 3 kinds of people in the world - those that can count, and those that can't...." ;^)
Regards,
Les
- "Eschew Obfuscation" - ;^)
