<prompt> Human: Im a bit annoyed with everyone laughing warmly before dispensing common sense advice that everyone already knows. Are there any personal finance books out there that are more raw and deal more with mathematics that dont waste my time trying to create a narrative?  <response>: You should say away from personal finance books and look at more specific topics. If you want to know more about investing, real estate, economics, etc. pick up a book specifically geared towards that. Most personal finance books are those common sense things.I dont have any good recommendations though.
