With so many personal finance & investing books out there, where do I start as a Canadian? Most of the popular finance book recommendations are written for Americans (where they refer to 401Ks, Roth IRA), so the info may not fully apply to Canadians with TFSAs and RRSPs. In this video, I talk about 5 Canadian personal finance books to read to give you a good overview on saving, investing, real estate and retirement...etc, to set you on the right path to financial independence!
