I Will Teach You to Be Rich

I think this book deserves its 5 stars rating even just for some sentences. My favourite one being : “GOD, IF I HEAR THIS ONE MORE TIME, I AM GOING TO JUMP UP AND BEAT SOMEONE WITH AN ONION. (That way it's unclear why they're crying.)”

However, this book is really great when you have no clue about how to manage your money (as I was), and when you regret a loooot of your spending (as I do) and want to learn how to handle your assets properly. While it's an american book, you can easily adapt most of it to our European countries (even if not all optimization are possible, but well we have other national social security options that perhaps don't exist for the US). If you're a bit lost with money, this book will tremendously help you and help you structure your spendings and savings. And the best part? It'll be easy to understand and funny, something I'd never have thought possible with personal finances ;)

This will forever be my favorite personal finance book. I read it in college and it was really helpful and has shaped a lot of my personal finance philosophy, and I just read it again and picked up even more than I did the first time and actually grasped a lot of the things Ramit talks about with investing. Thinking I'm going to make it a regular thing to read this book once every few years!
