In this brief introductory video, the speaker offers practical advice for absolute beginners looking to enter the world of finance. The core recommendations are threefold: first, read foundational personal‑finance and wealth‑building books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Richest Man in Babylon, and Think and Grow Rich to build a solid conceptual base. Second, obtain a low‑cost subscription to the Wall Street Journal’s business and markets section (approximately $3‑$4 per month) and regularly follow its updates to develop a habit of tracking real‑world financial news. Finally, the speaker frames these steps as a launchpad, suggesting that once these basics are mastered, viewers can move on to more complex and “crazier” finance topics. The tone is conversational and encouraging, with a supportive, optimistic sentiment toward the suggested learning path.

Chapters

If you're brand new to the world of finance and money, these are my top tips to get started. Number 1, start reading the classic finance business books. Rich Dad Poor Dad, Richest Man in Babylon, or Think and Grow Rich. Those will set a great foundation for you. Additionally, go download and buy a subscription to Wall Street Journal. Subscribe to the business and market section and just start watching the updates of business things that come through over the next few months. It's only like $3 or $4 a month. And will start getting your brain thinking about the world of business and finance. After that, you can start moving on to crazier stuff, but that's a great place to start.
