Depends on your situation. This is essential first reading imo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligent_Investor

If you still had questions and more money than the average bear, find a financial professional.

Thanks! I've officially added it to my reading list, along with Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Richest Man in Babylon. I wish I had done more to become financially literate earlier on--I don't think anyone ever talked to me in school about financial literacy and now I'm in catch up mode.

I wouldn't necessarily read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" or "The richest man in babylon". You might find better books about personal finance by:

- searching recommendations on HN, e.g. with a Google search like "site:news.ycombinator.com investing book recommendations"

- searching recommendations on the various subreddits like https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/ (search for book recommendation threads, or read their wikis)

- on the BogleHeads website : https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Getting_started

Good luck :)
