Hi everyone, can anyone recommend books on organizing personal finances that goes beyond the basics but is still easy to understand?

I should be good at this stuff, I have no debt, a decent salary, and I stick to a pretty strict budget… but the ins and outs of different investment and savings options confuse the hell out of me every time. What should I do with my money? Advice appreciated :)

Suggestions! 1- if you have an emergency fund put it in a money market account like ally it is easy to get to and makes more in interest than savings 2- start investing in- by buying index and mutual funds! Tons of online brokers to do this- I have Charles shwab Easy starts, they are diversified which is the nature of them, and they average the highest yield over long time. Also look at fidelity go it’s robo diversified investing super easy 3- automate savings and investments ! I do zero based budgeting meaning all my dollars have a job- if you set up auto save and invest they just keep stacking on their own and you don’t need to think about it! Obv do the budget part first though see what excess you can do

Always a student. This helps me relate to my own. Mistakes. Confusion. Oopsies like giving the wrong answer when we KNOW it. Learning keeps me off any high horse because sure as the world I’d otherwise get knocked down. We are all students in our classrooms. An indirect bonus is that the connection we make by remembering what it’s like to be a student helps us manage the class better. We relate. We admit. We connect.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
