Read These Books if You Want To Be Rich

The ultimate benefit of reading books is to learn from the author's experience and to avoid the mistakes he/she has made.

This is my favorite list of books that made me rich (of course smart work is the key. To think that when you finish reading a book, 1$Million will fall down on your head)

1- Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

This is my favorite book. The object of this book is to help you learn the art of changing your mind from failure consciousness to success consciousness. You shouldn't say "I'm poor I can't buy that", instead you should say, how can I make it make me money. In other words, let's say you want a Ferrari car, that car should motivate you to work more in order for you to make extra money.

2- Your Money Or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez

This book teaches you how to transform your relationship with money. If you understand how money flows, you can hack it.

3- FU Money by Dan Lok

Dan Lok is my idol. Fu money = point of true financial liberation. In this book you learn that the following points are just myths:

• Money can’t buy happiness
• Rich people are assholes
• You can afford to wait
• You have to be lucky
• You have to be a cheapskate
• You have to get rich slow
• You have to work hard to make money
• You have to be perfectly ready

4- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

This book is about Robert Kiyosaki and his two dads—his real father (poor dad) and the father of his best friend (rich dad)—and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing.

5-How Rich People Think by Steve Siebold

The author has spent 30 years interviewing 1,000 millionaires and billionaires to figure out what distinguished them from the average person. In this book, Siebold offers concrete action steps to follow as an ambitious person in building your own wealth.

This is my favorite list of books when it comes to understand and make money.

If all you think about is money and strive to revolve your entire life around it, you lead a very poor life indeed.

How is this kind of article even related to dev.to?

If you dream big, you need money and invest in the right place to achieve your dreams.

What's wrong with having so much money. Just compare poor/rich districts: which of these two types of districts is safe for you to do in?

Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is a horrible choice. There's a lot of bad, wrong, and dangerous advice in it. Not to mention, there isn't really a second dad, and his company went through bankruptcy in 2012.

You'd be better off reading books by well respected financial experts, such as Dave Ramsey.
