Because I truly want us to reach a much deeper level of understanding regarding financial concepts, and because education means first of all reading, you can find in the recommendations below, in the order of reading, on different degrees of difficulty, a few paths I’ve taken over the last few years. From all of this, I’ve gleaned some of the savings/investment strategies I use now. After reading these books we can discuss (you can send me an email at mihai@educatsibogat.ro) how these concepts can be applied in practice, right here in Romania.
From the desire to maximize the efficiency of personal expenses, for most books, you can find a link on www.bookster.ro (a modern public library) where you can borrow these books for FREE (as an individual or if the company you work for offers this benefit for its employees).
