Over the years, the wife and I have come across numerous books, posts, and other resources that helped us immensely on our journey to Financial Independence. Here's a growing list of these gems… in no particular order. I'll keep updating this page as we find more good stuff.
Please note that some of the links here may help us support this site, such as those from the Amazon affiliate program.

I would recommend you check these out from your local library first, and then, if you love one, buy it. 🙂
