www.investopedia.com is excellent. They cover just about everything. But if you want the long and short of it I can tell you what has worked for me. I'm not giving you financial advice, I'm just saying what has worked for me.

What works the best is if your employer has a 401k plan you should put as much as possible into it. Think of it as a tax. You pay it first and learn to live with it. Your employer matches a percentage of what you pay into it and it's free money. Over time it adds up to a lot. But it takes time. I personally have all of my 401k in a large cap growth fund. It is a basket of shares in large companies like Microsoft and Apple.

[for anyway] the only book needed is the Holy Bible, teaching us such things as not to trust in uncertain riches; to be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; to be not high-minded; and not to desire to be rich, knowing that it will just cause us to fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lust which will drown us in destruction and perdition.
As for looking for the future in this world, we should not take thought for tomorrow; but let tomorrow take thought for the things of itself; and let today's own troubles be sufficient for today: trusting in the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ, telling us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and what we need will be added to us.
It is a matter of whom we do sincerely trust.

Following because I too want to improve how I steward finances and what the Lord has blessed me with.. definitely an area I could improve in.

'He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.'

(Luke 16:10)

Just follow me around for awhile, take notes…and then do the exact opposite.

I'm leaning towards buying these two books:

This is the most recent one, not yet released.... Maybe if I wait until the summer I can get a used copy for a little less money? Or is it worth it to invest in a brand new copy now?

https://www.amazon.com/Investing-Du...d8553&pd_rd_wg=Wtrqp&pd_rd_i=1119873037&psc=1

This is the one published a few years ago. Since things are changing so quickly with cryptocurrency and the trend towards digital currency, I think the newest copy might be the best idea.

I didn't read the 8-in-1 or the 9-in-1, but I did read Investing for Dummies and I found it helpful. I'd already had an understanding of budgeting which it touches on, so I would supplement it with a Christian book or course on budgeting if you're not strong in that area.

Crown Financial offers faith based financial education. Their lessons are biblical and include prayer. I’ve taken them and worked in the industry. That would be my first starting point.

The Book of Proverbs

 

[Gentle Lamb]

Thank you both. Yes Proverbs is excellent. I was looking for something that will give more specific advice as to what to do with our economic situation going on in the world right now.
