#14 The Ten Pillars of Wealth
Think like a multimillionaire: leave the 9 to 5 behind. The world has led you to believe that financial freedom is not something you can willfully create in your life. You have been taught to view wealth as something that happens only to a lucky few who win a random business lottery or are blessed with unimaginable talent. The TRUTH is that creating excessive financial wealth does not come down to luck or talent. It comes down simply to your beliefs, understanding, and views–the ”pillars” that reinforce your every action.
#15 The Millionaire Fast Lane
Has the “settle-for-less” financial plan become your plan for wealth? That sounds something like this:
Graduate from college, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks mocha lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your life-savings to Wall Street, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich.
Since you were old enough to hold a job, you’ve been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma is “The Slowlane” – an impotent FINANCIAL GAMBLE that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair.
There you have it! Those are some of the best books about saving money that you can start reading.
My favorite book about saving money is the Complete Guide to Money by Dave Ramsey. In this book, he talked about managing money in a way that a beginner can understand and relate too.

Love Your Life, Not Theirs is such a good read! It is a great reminder that seeing is not always believing. With the world of social media, it is hard to remember that we are seeing someone’s life through a filter.
Just because someone Instagrammed their new car, does not mean that they can really afford that new car!
