It’s Sunday, which means...it’s recap time here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast

This week the theme was: Best Personal Finance Books To Read This Summer

In case you missed any episodes, here are my top summer book recommendations:

• The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey

• The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness by Morgan Housel

• The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley

• A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel

• Managing God's Money: A Biblical Guide by Randy Alcorn

The most important takeaway from this week is…managing your money well is about understanding the basics well, and being disciplined - both with your spending and saving habits, and with your emotions and how you react to what’s happening with your investments and in the economy. 

The lessons learned in these books are enduring lessons that I have carried with me over the years, and the knowledge you’ll gain if you read any or all these books will serve you well for years to come. 

Tomorrow, I’m starting a brand new theme: how to protect yourself from cyber theft. Criminals are getting very good at tricking consumers, where it’s now possible to impersonate you over the phone, tricking even your own family members into thinking it’s you on the phone. And with AI getting more sophisticated, the potential for cyber theft is even scarier. 

So next week, I’ll talk about the top ways you can protect your money from cyber theft. 

Thank you so much for listening this week!
