Money. It’s a touchy subject for some people, and it’s just a game for others. I’ve been on both ends of that spectrum: totally broke and busted on one end \u2014 and total financial freedom on the other. The former is stressful beyond belief; while the latter is friggin\u2019 awesome. Now, I\u2019m no Warren Buffet by any means, but I do know what it feels like to pull myself out of the brink of bankruptcy and learn how to finally get finances together. And most of my money management education came from two places: 1) Failing miserably in the real-world (and eventually learning from those failures); and 2) Reading lots and lots of books<\/a>. Today, I we\u2019re going to talk about the latter…\u00a0More specifically, I\u2019ll be dropping a list of the 16 most powerful money management books I\u2019ve ever read.<\/p>\n

Some of them are old-school classics. Others are new-age money management books written to help us adapt to the evolving economic conditions of the modern world.
