Non-gender-specific Health:

Fat Chance by Dr. Robert Lustig (not finance-related, but still a book I plan to read)

Books I have read:

The Spender's Guide to Debt-Free Living by Anna Newell Jones - I read this and I enjoyed it. After I read this book, I realized it's okay for me to try and return anything. That's money that will go back into my pocket (and maybe money I can't afford to spend).

Quit Like a Millionaire: No Gimmicks, Luck, or Trust Fund Required by Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung - I read this and enjoyed it immensely. I thought this was such an interesting story. It was also very memorable. I wouldn't mind re-reading it but I don't have to re-read it because I didn't forget it yet. :) Read this around late October 2019.

The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship: A Toltec Wisdom Book by Don Miguel Ruiz - I vaguely remember this but I don't feel the need to re-read it. It was okay.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz - This book was okay. I don't really feel the need to re-read it. Read this in early November 2019.

Financial Freedom: A Proven Path to All the Money You Will Ever Need by Grant Sabatier - I enjoyed reading this book a lot. Actually, this book was the basis on which I started my blog. Read this around late October 2019.

ChooseFI: Your Blueprint to Financial Independence by Chris Mamula and Brad Barrett - I enjoyed reading this book as well. I had planned on doing a series on this book as well. Read this around early November 2019.

You Need a Budget: The Proven System for Breaking the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle, Getting Out of Debt... by Jesse Mecham - I sped-read this one. I think it was okay, but I don't feel the need to re-read it. 

Books I have read that I plan to re-read:

Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss and Tahl Raz. This was a great book I sped-read and I would like to re-read it. I don't remember it very well. Also, I'm not sure I can apply it effectively since I'm not a white man, but I suppose I can do my best! Read this in late November 2019.

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear - This book was amazing. I'd love to re-read it and try and apply it to my life this time. He has a free weekly newletter I recommend you sign up for too. Read this around late October 2019.

The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferris - I read this but it was a very long time ago. I'd like to re-read it to give it another chance.

Dollars and Sense: How we Misthink Money and How to Spend Smarter by Dan Ariely and Jeff Kreisler - I think I read this in early November 2019. It was good but I'd like to re-read it.

Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending by Elizabeth Dunn & Michael Norton - same as Dollars and Sense. I think I read this, I think it was good, I'd like to re-read it. Read in early November 2019.

Can I Retire Yet: How to Make the Biggest Financial Decision of the Rest of Your Life by Darrow Kirkpatrick - I read this. It was a bit hard to digest. I'd like to read it again. Read in mid/late October 2019.

Bonus: a quote from Into the FIRE's father: "My experience is that people love learning, but they resent being taught."

Phew! This was a lot of typing. How was your 2020? I hope it wasn't too bad. Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy 2021.

Warmly,

Into the FIRE
