The Best Investment Books Every Beginner Should Read

By Tom Nonmacher

Hello, fellow thrifters! One of the most effective ways to save money in the long run is by investing wisely. However, for beginners, the world of investment might seem like an overwhelming labyrinth of confusing terms and high risks. But fret not! Arm yourself with the right knowledge and you can navigate this labyrinth with confidence. Today, we are going to talk about some of the best investment books that every beginner should read. These books will provide you with a solid foundation to understand the complex world of investing and help you make informed financial decisions.

The first book on our list is "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. Often hailed as the "Bible of investing", this book provides a timeless and profound understanding of investment principles. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" - buying stocks when they are undervalued – can help you save money and reduce risks. His advice on avoiding expensive stocks might seem counter-intuitive, but remember, we're in the business of saving money, not showing off!

The second book is "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton G. Malkiel. This book is not just a guide to investing, but also a fascinating tour of the history of Wall Street. Malkiel's main argument is that 'a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper's financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts.' This suggests that market timing and stock picking are not as beneficial as investing in a low-cost index fund, again, supporting our thrifty way of thinking.

Next up, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. This book is a personal finance classic that offers unconventional wisdom about money and investing. Kiyosaki does not just focus on investment strategies but also emphasizes the importance of financial education and building wealth through investments. The book encourages you to think of money as a tool for wealth accumulation rather than something to be earned and spent, aligning perfectly with our goal of smart saving.

Lastly, do not miss out on "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John C. Bogle. Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group, advocates for low-cost index funds. He argues that these funds, over time, will outperform most other investment options and are perfect for long-term investing. This approach aligns with our philosophy of cutting costs without compromising on quality or enjoyment.

I hope these books will guide you in your investment journey and help you make financial decisions that align with your money-saving goals. Remember, investing is not about getting rich quick, but about growing and preserving wealth over the long term. So, start reading, start investing, and start saving! Happy thrifting, everyone!
