We're almost done with our series on the book Your Money Or Your Life, just a couple of posts to go. Join us! You can buy YMOYL here,[Image] and you can find the first post in the series here.
We'll return to our more typical food and health-related content later in February. As always, thank you, readers, for your time and attention!
*************************************
Readers, this reading list contains two sections. Part 1 contains a two-part list of what I consider required reading for anyone interested in becoming a more knowledgeable investor. (And if you closely read every investing book below, you'll be better educated than the majority of investment professionals on Wall Street. Don't think for a minute that I'm joking.) Note also, I've added and subtracted a book or two from this list since we last ran this series five years ago!
Part 2 is a bonus reading list based on the philosophies of Your Money or Your Life[Image]. It's for readers seeking additional ideas and strategies for living a simpler, happier and less consumerist life.

A final (self-promotional) word: Let me mention once more that one of the easiest ways you can support Casual Kitchen is by making any (or preferably all!) of your Amazon purchases via affiliate links on this site. The price you pay at Amazon is the same, but if you use the links here at CK, I receive a modest commission based on the cost of your purchases. In other words, if you're already planning on a purchase at Amazon, consider stopping here first and then going to Amazon's site via the affiliate links here. This is a great way to support Casual Kitchen at zero incremental cost to you.
And if you know someone who might benefit from one or more of these books, consider making a gift purchase. Help someone get on top of their financial game while supporting my work here!
