I spent years in finance making good money but making terrible financial decisions. These are the books that actually changed how I think about money—curated by someone who learned the hard way.
I'm Oliver, 27, from Britain. I work in finance and study business part-time. A few years ago, I was earning well but had zero financial literacy—classic case of making money without understanding it.
That changed when I started making expensive mistakes. I dove into every economics book I could find. Most were either too academic or full of "guru" nonsense promising overnight wealth.
This shop only features books I've personally read and vetted. No affiliate spam, no "get rich quick" garbage. Just honest resources that helped me understand budgeting, economics, and financial planning.

I've personally read every single book in this shop. I'm not affiliated with publishers, I don't get commissions, and I only recommend books that genuinely helped me understand finance better. If a book is here, it's because I found it valuable—not because someone paid me to promote it.
Most books here are written for regular people, not finance professionals. I specifically chose books that explain complex topics in plain English. Each product description mentions the difficulty level and who it's best suited for.
My books are based on mistakes I actually made and lessons I learned the hard way. No theory from someone who's never handled real money—just practical advice from someone who earned well but managed poorly until I figured things out.
