Money books that actually change how you spend
Miles Ovadia · 6 min read
Most money advice is either too complicated to use or too simple to trust. The books that stick do something different: they change how you think, not just what you do.
Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money is the best modern starting point — a set of short stories about how people actually behave with money, and why doing well has little to do with being smart. Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor is the classic for a reason: it teaches temperament, not tips.
Add Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad for the mindset shift and The Almanack of Naval Ravikant for the modern, aphoristic take on wealth and happiness, and you have a shelf that pays for itself.
