@nolanj I probably read a dozen finance books a year, i'm a bit addicted. But 99% are written for an American audience, so be super careful applying that to NZ. But the only one book you should need to read is A Random Walk Down Wall Street (Burton G. Malkiel)
@garrettholliman2001 That’s a very good point! That’s why I liked Mary Holm’s book as it’s specifically for New Zealanders. Though I feel like majority of the concepts from the other books are still relevant for an NZ investor. Are there any specific parts you think as New Zealanders we should be wary of?
My biggest takeaway from these books is the drip feeding into passive index funds over the working career with the set and forget strategy and letting it compound over the decades.
@nolanj I think the millionaire next door is a classic. Just replace the million amount for something appropriate for our times or situation.
I recently read richer, wiser, happier by William green. It's a very good read, it focuses on the great investors. Alot of them continue to be non materialistic regardless of their accumulation of wealth. This is comforting to know.
