Reading personal finance books is one of the key ways I increased my financial knowledge about saving, investing and paying off debt fast.
I was always able to learn new money concepts and money management strategies, from the perspectives, approaches and experiences different authors shared, on the topic personal finance, although it was never easy to find one from a Caribbean author.
Thankfully, that is no longer the case and I am happy to share 7 personal finance books by authors in the Caribbean and the Diaspora you should read.
