Best books to buy for someones 18th birthday

Alan Thomas
Posted

Good evening All.

I am 37 and from the UK.  I have been listening to the personal finance podcasts with Scott & Mindy and my finances have transformed within 6 months.  

Would like to say a big thank you !

I have a question.   I have a nephew who is just about to turn 18 and he is all about material things.  I am worried he will make the same financial mistakes I did when I was his age.  If I knew at 18 what I know now then I would be worth £20m not just the £100k that I am currently improving on !

As we all know people start pulling faces when we try to pass on our wisdom so I thought I would buy him some books as an 18th birthday gift to try and educate him.

I have ordered Your Money or Your Life & Millionaire Next Door already for him.  Do anyone else have any suggestions?  Some of these books are very American...I can see past this but something with a more UK or European outlook may be a good idea to go with the above.

Feel free to add some suggestions....

Have a great weekend 😀

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is a must read. It is a great mental shift in being able to sort out assets and liabilities in your life.
