The Wealthy Barber

In order to get more serious about my financial planning, I read this guide book from 1989 :) But it's a big Canadian hit apparently, though I gave it a try.

It's common-sense finance knowledge packaged with a few characters and minimal plot. The jokes are aged yet still chuckle-worthy. Less chuckle-worthy is the fact that back then it was quite realistic to get 10% interests on mutual fund investments.

Definitely helpful in getting you thinking about savings, rsps, insurance, taxes, etc.
