I’ve realized I’m very emotional when it comes to money, and in 2025, I want to work on improving the bad traits that come along with it. That’s why my first read for 2025 will be The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.
Why am I sharing this? Because I want you to think about one area where you might be struggling with your finances. Is there something you need to get right?
Invest in a book—just one is enough—that can help you understand or navigate that part of your financial life.
When setting financial goals, remember: that you don’t need to overwhelm yourself with too many. Focus on one transformative goal.
For example, if you’ve struggled with sticking to a financial plan or budget because of a lack of discipline, make financial discipline your primary goal.
To support that goal, find a book that offers practical guidance, like The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, which lays out actionable steps to eliminate debt, build an emergency fund, and achieve financial independence.
There are so many resources out there—do your research and choose one book that you can read to heal a specific part of your finances. Let’s make 2025 the year of meaningful financial progress!
PS: This started as a post for my WhatsApp channel which you can follow by clicking this link, but I quickly hit the maximum word limit before I could finish my thoughts. So, I decided to share it here as a blog post instead.
Over time, I’ll likely add more about why the other books made it onto my 2025 reading list. Stay tuned—I’ll keep updating this blog as we go!
Is there a movie you can recommend?😅I struggle a lot with reading especially books
ReplyDeleteI do have movies with a financial touch, but if you want something that probably will help you on a certain issue, try maybe podcasts or audiobooks. I do find Ramit Sethi's podcast insightful.
