Financial Security

For me being financially secure is on the very top of my list for career goals. I am sure that it is also on the top of many other people's list too. To me this seems like such an unreachable goal, one that will take me my whole life to complete. Is there another way? The answer is yes. In class yesterday we have a guest speaker come and share his insights about how he has become financially secure. He said that the only way to do this is to make the money work for you and not you working for money.

That is achieved by thinking like an investor. It's not just about saving the money that you make, but investing it so that you get a return on the money you have. He recommended a few books to read to start the process of thinking like an investor. Here are a few that I am going to start reading: Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki; The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson; and The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason.
