There are some great books to help you with your budget planning. Some of my recommendations are listed below. Amazon.com is a great place to shop for the reading material that you need to help you with your financial plan. You can find information about: Budgets, Stocks, Options, 401K, Retirement and many other subjects.
When I started out I couldn't afford to go to college so I had to figure out an affordable alternative. My mother told me that everything I needed to know was documented somewhere so the best advice I can give you is to read and continue to learn to gain the knowledge you need to be successful. I made it a point to follow her advice so I constantly read to learn about the things I was dealing with in my personal and financial life.
Fortunately for me I did find a job that provided financial assistance for college so I did eventually get my degree. However, by the time I got my degree I was a Vice President in a fortune 500 company because I constantly read material about management and took business management classes. I simply made myself the most qualified for the jobs that I wanted.
Some of you just may feel more comfortable searching for your own reading material so I'm putting a search box here for your convenience. You can search for your choice of topics such as: budgets, insurance, stocks, options, retirement, 401K's and many other subjects.
