I think that you will find that there is no one good resource to learn about money management, and that lots of smart people here on BiggerPockets and around the web will disagree intelligently on the best ways to manage your money.I think that a good list of books to begin reading if you are interested on taking control of your money, learning to invest, and having money work for you, instead of having to work for money, are these:1) Richest Man in Babylon (Great for learning basic finance principles - probably the first book you should read)2) Rich Dad Poor Dad (Great for understanding how wealthy people think about money)3) The Four Hour Work Week (Great for understanding the concept of lifestyle design and that Effort does NOT always correspond to productivity)4) The Millionaire Next Door (Great for understanding about what REAL Rich people do with their lives and money)5) The Wealth Barber (A Great step by step look at a reasonable approach for a typical american looking to manage their wholistic financial position)6) The Compound Effect (A Great Book that Discusses the Gradual, then accelerative, then explosive nature of finance, and many other life objectives)Oh, and since you are learning about money - get these books from the library for FREE! 

Welcome to BP community, hope all is well.What was my driving force was eating up audio books to speed up the gaining knowledge process, in return I would gather my questions faster for more deeper research.also all podcast/video-blogs from BP, listen to all of them until you start feeling a craving for a certain niche, then focus more on that new found hunger.recommended books:-10x Rule-Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing (free from BP)-Rich Dad Poor Dad-Millionaire Real Estate Agent (known as the Red book within REA's)-Millionaire Real Estate Investor (known as the Blue book within REA's)-4 hour work week-The E Myth for Real Estate Investors-Profit FirstGood luck, you seek , you will find#keepthehustle #lifeisworthliving #notdreamingitsreality

Our 2 year goal is to take lower paying jobs that are less demanding than our current 80 hour work weeks and use the extra time to get the ball rolling on real estate. 

Actually some years many of them make NOTHING.Some of the people with that degree that work at large hospitals actually work a compressed work week.

Not really a "long investment" type of guy... more of a 4 hour work week/ buy your own island type of person... :)

Ah yes, the old 5 hour work week.

Find solid and experienced partners and invest passively in these opportunities and reach your retirement goals w/o spending your weekends managing properties after a long work week.  

Beyond this, I am not sure what I will do with the money, but what  great problem to have.I have read 4hr Work Week, Set for Life, and Millionaire Next Door since June and I feel I have accomplished more in the 2 months since I have read these books than I have in the previous 5 years.

I'm more than willing to put in the 70+ hour work weeks in the firm, long hours don't bother me, and any free time is going to learning REI (not much time for anything else).But I do agree with you and what others have said, REI needs to be my own.
