Re: Personal finance and investment books to convert the unambitious
Agreeing with Sniper on David Bach, however maybe get her "Smart Couples Finish Rich". The two of you can read it together and discussion may be easier since it is geared towards couples. If I had to pick one book and one book only it would be "The Only Investment Guide You Will Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias. He updates almost yearly. As far as feeling behind at 24. You are probably well ahead of your peers. I am 27 and most of the people I know around my age are no more conscious of their net worth or lack of, than an earthworm. Keep making your financial decisions with your bottom line in mind and you will be fine.
