When I decided that I was sick and tired of dealing with my money problems and living a make-believe world of having money, I decided that I needed to find books that motivated me into financial planning shape. I needed to find some financial planning books that were motivating to this broke minded girl and would shape me into the person I am today.

Though there are many financial planning books out there, I have to say that till this day I continue to read them and to learn from them. It seems like every month there is a new book out there talking about money and debt freedom. With all honesty some are good, some are OK, and some I can’t wait to read.

The good news is that if you are starting on your debt freedom journey and are looking for books that will help you get on your financial freedom mindset; you will be able to find at least one that will help you.
