I bought this book "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" about a year ago, wish it were available when I graduated from college. It is a must read book for both students and their parents, offers plenty of financial tips. Ramit Sethi, author of this book doesn't recommend you to be a miser, just wiser. It is a must read financial book and that too for a price of a medium Starbucks coffee.
In this book, Ramit Sethi offers the following tips:
