Doing a bit of reflection on some of these books and thinking about how difficult it is to provide a long-standing educational guide when the economic realities change so rapidly. Some of these are published in 2024 and 2025 and even then I think there’s been more human loss, volatility and fear than a lot of these Authors hoped for the world. Im going to look into some upcoming releases for 2026/2027 and may add some holistic value leaning books to help balance out the list

ooh interesting niche!! i read something similar recently that was helpful and also surprisingly emotional: I Survived Capitalism and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt by Madeline Pendleton!

Added (and added to my TBR as well) it looks like a great read 🔥💖

Madeline: “I never wanted to write a book about money. I wanted to read a book about money, a book that acknowledged the financial reality that our generations were born into. What I found instead were books written by men much older than me about how to survive in a world that didn’t seem to exist anymore.”

Thats what I love, when a book helps shape / change a perspective and makes you feel like you can navigate such a world - especially money which we all have kinda complicated relationships with right. So good

love this list! I only read two books from it so far but will definitely look into the rest. thanks for creating it!

I’m glad!! There are one or two which are APAC specific but I tried to bring together more country agnostic financial literacy books that were still impactful

Rich Girl Nation, Katie Tassin! My copy is finally almost ready on Libby!

Just looked it up, the fact it states it has information on prenups and salary negotiation strategies has me immediately interested. Added to my tbr and this list! I'll keep an eye out for your thoughts 👀

:) I like this, excited to read these~

I’d like to recommend “Moving beyond broke “ by Dasha Kennedy and “A black girls guide to financial literacy” by Paris Woods. I also would like to recommend “Budget Happy” by Lisa Woodley.
