I took finance in college but feel like I didn't learn anything, partly because i didn't care and the teacher was incredibly boring. However now that I am starting a fast lane lifestyle I have an incentive and a strong urge to understand financial literacy. What are the best books to understand financial terms? MJ lists all the things I need to know, but doesn't really list what they mean because that wasn't his focus. What are some books you would recommend a beginner in the fastlane and money making world to understand financial terms?
