Best financial books for the layperson?

[Mousey84]

I like Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin - very thought provoking book which I highly recommend.

Ive just finished Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Was awkward to read, and didnt really have anything new to teach me, but I dont regret taking the few hours to read it as its spurred me on a bit

In last 2 days Ive started reading the Millionaire Next Door and Tim Ferris' 4 hour work week (ok, so thats not technically finance) so cant comment on them yet, but certainly are extremely highly recommended.

What books do you recommend?

It's a children's book, but DK's Show Me The Money is a really good introduction for both children and adults!

Oh, that does look good! I cant stand Alvin Hall, but that book looks like it would be good for my DD - have put it on my list of books to look up at library :)

Anything by Mary Hunt such as Debt-Proof Living which is very useful for anyone, not just those in debt.

Tim Hale who wrote 'Smarter Investing', ISBN 0273722077, talks a lot of sense on the investment front.

I don't have a book to recommend but I do recommend signing up for the podcast of BBC R4's 'MoneyBox' programme. The number of times I've listened to this and been spurred on to make changes in my finances have been many.

Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert man, has written a couple of books
