I would like to learn more about "all things financial" because I am very ignorant on the subject. I would need to find some books written without all the buzzwords and confusing terms. What are your top 5 financial books? Thanks!

One of the best books is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The book has helped many people achieve success. I would also recommend books by Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Suze Orman, David Bach, and even Donald Trump. Whatever books you can read that teach you something (anything) will be enlightening to you as you learn more about business, finance, goals, success, and whatever sparks your interest and excitement. Check out your library's financial section. There are a number of awesome books out there that some people love while others hate. Get to the library and develop your own book list.

The books recommended here are some fine choices. But learning never stops. You can learn a lot from a cheap subscription to Money magazine and there's lots of good stuff on Yahoo finance. Interesting topic. Fun to learn. Why not take an adult ed class on investing? Remember to stay away from anyone who promises astronomical returns. They are scammers. The most important thing I can tell you is to start putting aside a small percentage of your income for investing. You can park it in a savings account until you're ready to make your move. No excuses! "I can't afford it" won't fly. You've got to! You'll be so glad you did.

the above answers are good.
however the missing book is Financial Peace Revisited - Dave Ramsey.
learning how to earn money is easy - do what successful people have done.
learning how to KEEP your money is HArd,
most 'succesful people' are just 2 - 4 paychecks from broke. they will not admit it.
did you know a 16 yr old with an IRA can become a multimillionaire even on minimum wage?
real money knowledge is power.

My Dad died when I was 19. He was a stockbroker. I wanted to know How he made money and spurred my curiosity about the financial world.
the two best books are:
Wealth without risk by Charles J. Givens
and Roaring 2000's by Harry S. Dent
I hope this helps.
