Books
Money 101 & Money 201 Ellen Roseman
Ellen Roseman is a well-known personal finance columnist and her books offers easy-to-understand advice on a wide range of financial planning topics including: spending & savings plans, mortgages, car leases, insurance, investing, children's education, and planning for retirement.
The Seven Stages of Money Maturity George Kinder
This book takes a look at money from a practical and spiritual level at the same time. Because it is a US publication, some of the tax and retirement information isn't relevant to Canada, but this is a great book to help you explore your relationship to money and how money affects your life.
Smart Women Finish Rich David Bach
David Bach's book is easy to read and his approach to financial planning is down to earth. Women of all ages and income levels will be able to relate to the stories of other women who have gained control over their financial lives.
The Soul of Money Lynne Twist
A different and compelling look at the connection between money and leading a meaningful life. This book has changed the way I look at money and truly influenced my work as a financial planner and educator.
The Wealthy Barber David Chilton
Even if you don't like to deal with money, you'll find this book entertaining and very easy to read. It touches on the basics of financial planning and is a great place to start.
You Can't Take it With You Sandra Foster
An excellent overview of estate planning issues for all Canadians. It covers wills, powers of attorney, insurance and trusts. I recommend reading this before consulting a lawyer about your estate plan. This book could save you time and money and help you make sense of an otherwise complicated topic.
Your Money or Your Life Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin
This book will help you get clear about your life and financial priorities. It provides very detailed budgeting advice and raises awareness of the effects of consumerism on the environment and on our lives. Be prepared - this book could change the way you think about how you work and how you live.
