I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi

This is definitely the best personal finance book I’ve read so far. It’s a logical, step-by-step, practical handbook for financial success, specially written for people in their 20’s. Sethi gives advice on “automatically enabling yourself to save, invest, and spend – enjoying it, not feeling guilty…because you’re spending only what you have.” His main point: automate your finances so you effortlessly save and invest, leaving you money to spend on things you love without feeling guilty. Automatic saving and investing helps overcome psychological barriers and laziness.

In addition to his emphasis on automation, I agreed with Sethi’s recommendation for long-term, passive, buy-and-hold investing instead of speculative, market-timing investing. I also liked Sethi’s 85 Percent Solution, which states that it’s better to act and get it 85% right than to do 0%; sometimes good enough is good enough, and it’s always better than doing nothing.

Another good message is “spend extravagantly on the things you love, and cut costs mercilessly on the things you don’t.” That’s valuable because everyone defines being “rich” differently, and it’s not all about money. Money is just the tool we use to acquire the material possessions and experiences we want. That’s the difference between being cheap and being frugal; being cheap is trying to cut spending on everything, and being frugal is cutting costs on the things you don’t care about so that you can splurge on the things you do.
