Truly Free eBooks for Wealth, Inspiration and Education

January 10, 2010

Can You Really Find Personal Finance eBooks for Free Download?

Free eBooks?It can be hard to find any summarized information online for personal finance education without having to give away your email address or buy something. I have been reading a lot of blogs and websites and books, but for some reason, I do enjoy the occasional ebook. Often times, ebooks offer a great compressed version of key information from people’s blogs or books.

Here are some resources that I have found that offer truly free ebooks or PDFs of some very useful information and education on personal finance and a wealthy mindset. (Some of them do want to sell you something also, but you can still get these for free without purchasing anything).

Review of Conspiracy of the Rich Book by Robert Kiyosaki

January 1, 2010

I am reading a lot of financial books right now, and I plan to provide the key take aways that I get from the books, not necessarily a full review of each chapter.

Review of Free Credit Score Analysis Tool: Credit Karma

November 23, 2009

What I found most interesting was the section called “Report Card”. It ranks certain criteria that is used to determine your credit score from A through F. It was very helpful for me, because I realized something critical in the way I have been managing credit cards and how I will manage them moving forward.

I have to admit, I was one of the typical college students that fell prey to the open 3 or 4 credit cards during the freshman orientation. I didn’t spend a lot on these cards, but when I wised up, I took the advice of someone that I should close any cards that I’m not using as that negatively affects my credit. So, I’ve been doing that over the years. When I don’t want a card any more, I close it. WRONG!
