Personal finance books you must read.

I started my personal finance journey in December of 2019; at the time, I knew nothing about personal finance, let alone a journey that would be years of unlearning, learning, discovery, and of course, The Responsible Homegirl. I didn’t know this world of personal finance existed, but the pain of my irresponsible financial decisions and the embarrassment of being so close to eviction led me there. Yea, it took me blowing $7,000 in 4 months and facing evicition to finally care about where my money is going. *sighs *

There is hope.

If you can relate to the 21-year-old Kionnie who desperately wanted to manage her money better, or the present-day Kionnie who believes achieving financial freedom is possible: this book list will help you on your path. You don’t know what you don’t know, and exposure changes everything! No matter what you’re facing right now, there is hope! I know how it is to be stressed about money and praying for a miracle to combat my mismanagement.If you’re reading this blog post, I know you’re ready to take your personal finances to a new level and I’m right here backing you. Let’s gooooooooo!!!! *in my best Glorilla voice * 

The book list:

Moving forward in your personal finances requires reading, listening, and applying.
