Rich dad poor dad is a quick and simple book to learn the mindset of how to acquire wealth. Ramit sethi’s I will teach you to be rich, despite the spammy title, is also a very good book with more practical advice if you’re new to personal finance. Ramit has great videos on YouTube as well.

Also Reddit’s personal finance flowchart.

Some poor reviews but ill give it a shot! Thanks 😊
