5 Essential Books about Building Wealth

To build wealth one must read many books.

"You cannot open a book without learning something."-Confucius

Regularly reading books is important for building wealth and maintaining a prosperous life. 

Trust me, you can't rely on the public education system or even your own parents to teach you about how to live a wealthy life.

They all have it wrong!

They are teaching you the wrong things about how to get wealth and maintain it.

Kids are taught from the start to be obedient subjects that will eventually run the cogs of the machine we call "Society". Yet upon graduation find that they are facing a lifetime of money issues due to lack of education about money.

To make matters worse, parents hand down their own bad money habits to their kids.

Teachers don't have a clue.

There doesn't seem to be anyone teaching young people how to live a wealthy life, free from the 9 to 5 grind, and free from financial oppression!

The only way to find out how to get wealth is by either finding a mentor, or reading plenty of books on the subject of wealth and money.

I compiled this list because I found these books really helped me to understand money and how to build wealth when there was no one else around to teach me. I only wish I found these titles sooner!
