    Financial Books you read that influenced you

    I still remember reading the Millionare Next Door. It was really interesting when they broke out professions in the way the saved and spent, discussed the aspirational rich and talked about behaviors. I always thought this should be required reading in school. There is so much life wisdom in that book. Anyone read any others that were influential?

    Yes The Millionaire Next Door is a good one.

    here are ones that aren’t necessarily finance oriented but influenced my investing greatly.

    Stocks for the long run by Jeremy Siegel. Became exposed to it in my equities class while getting my MBA.

    Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore. Helped me understand the early days of the digital transformation.

    Lastly...Freakonomics. Just opened my eyes a bit to look beyond the obvious.
