Hey guys! Got another book to give away this week. Looks pretty good if you’re interested in trust vs wills stuff. We have 3 of these to give out, so if you’re interested check out the directions at the end of this post.
Here’s a little about the book by attorney, and author, Ronald Sharp:
Living Trusts for Everyone: Why a Will is Not the Way to Avoid Probate, Protect Heirs, and Settle Estates
“Should you have a trust or a will if you want to save money and give your loved ones the maximum benefit from your estate? Do lawyers always have their clients’ best interests in mind? Is your estate too small for a trust to be the right choice? Ronald Sharp answers these questions and more as he explains trusts in clear and easy-to-understand language, including one truth that most lawyers don’t want to admit: A trust is not only as effective but is often less costly than a will. Everyone who cares about what happens to his or her assets at death will want to read this book. From savings in legal expenses to protecting your assets for your heirs, Living Trusts for Everyone explains the many advantages of trusts and why wills are not the best way to handle an estate.”

I’m really diggin’ Your Money: The Missing Manual from JD Roth
I’m a huge fan of The Intelligent Investor. It’s what got me interested in investing 4 years ago.
The Intelligent Investor is my favorite, but since it is already taken I would like to introduce my second favorite: Way of the Turtle by Curtis Faith
I’m embarassed to say I haven’t read all that many finance books, so i’m going with the one and only I remember: Suze Orman’s 9 Steps to Financial Freedom. Excited to get all these great recommendations from others – I need the reading assignments. :)
Hey, ya gotta start somewhere! :)
I don’t want to be entered into this contest, but here are my top 4 favorite books:
1) The Millionaire Next Door
2) The Richest Man in Babylon
3) I Will Teach You To Be Rich
4) The Automatic Millionaire
I usually buy any combination of these for my friends and family members for presents if I know they’ll actually read them :) If you don’t like financial books there’s no point.
The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. :-)
I liked parts of Tightwad Gazette and Suze Orman’s pdf that Oprah sent out free.
Stuart E. Lucas, Wealth: Grow It, Protect It, Spend It, and Share It. Upper Saddle River, NJ: The Wharton School, 2006.
Hello,
First time commenter here so. yay! I haven’t read many personal finance book, but I am about 1/2 through “Stop Getting Ripped Off ” by NY Times bestselling author Bob Sullivan.
I think one of the worst things in the world is finding out you are getting ripped off. This is a great book and I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the entry. This seems like an interesting book since I am getting ready to marry someone who has a living trust and I don’t know one thing about them!

I like the book “Make Money Not Excuses” by Jean Chatzky.
Tough to pick just one favorite, so here are a few
1: The Millionaire Next Door
2: Learn to Earn (Peter Lynch)
3: Random Walk down Wall Street
4:The Money book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke (Suze Orman) (great graduation gift)
5: Financially Ever After (Jeff Opdyke) (good wedding gift if you’re the type that’s your style)
—and many many more—
I don’t have a favorite book yet but Rich Dad Poor Dad did get me thinking about financial freedom.
One of my first orders of business as a married man is creating a will together. Needless to say, my fiance isn’t as excited as I am.
This seems like an overlooked topic. If you spend years and years accumulating wealth. Wouldn’t you spend a few weeks or months earning how best to protect it and pass it on to those you love?
My fav financial book has to be The Secret Currency of Love — definitely a chick book, but gave me a lot to think about for financial matters in relationships
I am in the process of selecting someone to do a living trust for us.
I liked John Bogle’s book Enough. Not a personal finanace book but more about how we got into the mess we are experiencing now in the finanacial world.
