Blogger – Money We Have
The most recent personal finance books I have read were The Value of Simple by John Robertson.
I recommend all Canadians read Stop Over-Thinking Your Money! The Five Simple Rules of Financial Success by Preet Banerjee and Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School by Andrew Hallam. Both of those books are on my list of the top personal finance books for Canadians.
I’d start with Preet’s book, and if you want an actual “primer” then I suggest picking up Personal Finance for Canadians for Dummies.
Blogger – Retirement Redux
I just finished reading Second-Act Careers – 50+ Ways To Profit From Your Passions During Semi-Retirement by Nancy Collamer and reviewed it for a blog post for next week.
My all time favourite business books were by David Chilton, The Wealthy Barber and The Wealthy Barber Returns. I also really like Jonathan Chevreau’s book Findependence Day.
I think Gail Vaz-Oxlade’s books are very accessible and are a good way to start, particularly for people who are in debt and need to learn how to budget.
Blogger – My Own Advisor
I’m just finishing up a book by Peter Thiel entitled Zero to One. Thiel was the founder of PayPal and is a venture capitalist for many tech start-ups.
I just started reading One-Page Financial Plan by Carl Richards. This book tries to simplify the financial planning process for folks. I’m going to have a giveaway on my website in a few weeks so make sure to visit.
My three favourite personal finance books are The Wealthy Barber and The Wealthy Barber Returns by David Chilton, Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam and The Investment Zoo by Stephen Jarislowsky.
I have two sets of recommendations depending upon your age group. For millennials, I recommend The Value of Simple by John Robertson and How Not To Move Back In With Your Parents – The Young Person’s Guide to Financial Empowerment by Rob Carrick.
For all age groups, I would start reading The Behavior Gap by Carl Richards, Stop Over-Thinking Your Money by Preet Banerjee and MoneySense Guide to the Perfect Portfolio by Dan Bortolotti.
Managing Director, Tax & Estate Planning with CIBC in Toronto
I am currently reading Essentialism – The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown.
My favourite personal finance book that I’ve read was The Wealthy Barber.
I also think that The Wealthy Barber is a great place to start if you are just starting to review your personal finances.
Publisher: Building Wealth – Author of RRSPs: The Ultimate Wealth Builder
I am currently not reading personal finance books right now.
My favorite book is One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch. Its common-sense approach, clear writing, and great investment anecdotes is the reason why I regard it so highly.
Blogger – Million Dollar Journey
Right now I’m reading, The Magic of Thinking Big by Dr. David Schwartz and The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.
My favorite books are The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, as an advocate for frugal living to build wealth, and E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber for business.
The principles of The Wealthy Barber are still sound, but I also like Why Swim with the Sharks. Another great book is, The Beginners Guide to Saving and Investing for Canadians. This book is written by finance bloggers, including myself, and provides are great starting point to personal finance specifically for Canadians.
Financial Planner @ Spring Personal Finance
I’m currently reading two finance books right now. The first one is All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan by Elizabeth Warren & Amelia Warren Tyagi. The second book is Pensionize Your Nest Egg by Moshe Milevsky & Alexandra MacQueen.
My favourite book has to be Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton.
For people who are starting to review their personal finances I would recommend The Value of Simple by John Robertson.
Personal Finance Expert – BoomerAndEcho
I’m currently reading Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.
My all time favourite personal finance book is The Wealthy Barber Returns. I find myself constantly going back to it for the great quotes and useful stories.
It’s a toss-up between the original Wealthy Barber, and Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam. I would also consider Wealthing Like Rabbits by Robert Brown as an up-and-comer.
Financial Journalist – Sean Cooper
I am currently reading Pensionize Your Nest Egg : How to Use Product Allocation to Create a Guaranteed Income For Life.
My favourite book has to be The Wealthy Barber Returns by David Chilton.
If you are starting to get your personal finances in order, I would suggest to read Well-Heeled: The Smart Girl’s Guide to Getting Rich by Lesley-Ann Scorgie right away.
Personal Finance Columnist – Ellen Roseman
I am rereading Helaine Olen‘s book, Pound Foolish: Exposing the Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry. She makes some excellent points about conflicts of interest and she tears apart some-well-known U.S, icons, such as Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey. She was recently speaking in Toronto.
The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle is one of my favourites. It’s a quick read, but contains valuable advice from a fund industry icon about the virtues of keeping things simple.
Stop Over-thinking Your Money: The Five Simple Rules of Financial Success by Preet Banerjee is an excellent guide for beginners.
Associate Professor @ Schulich School of Business
Currently, I am reading Making Money: Coin, Currency and the Coming of Capitalism by Christine Desan.
