<prompt> Human: Im getting started with this, so far Ive read Personal Finance for Dummies and Rich Dad Poor Dad, and Im not sure what else I should start off with. Ive checked out some at my local library and some are way too technical, while others come off as really gimmicky, and Id like some way to pare down the ones that are actually useful for someone beginning to read about personal finance.  <response>: Ill just give two. I will teach you to be rich by Ramit Sethi and Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley are both excellent reads. IWTYTBR is definitely more a beginnergood practices book and MND is more statistical studies. The rpf wiki and bogleheads both have great reading lists as well as mentioned below.
