Personal Finance/"Adulting"

Does anyone have any recommendations for any good personal finance or "adulting" books?

I was one of those "career student" individuals for a long time, and thus, got a late start on the actual "real world" part of life. If anyone has any suggestions on books for someone trying to start her own life, i.e., budget, save money, first car, first apartment, live independently, pay off debt, etc., I'd very much appreciate it.

Thank you!

I just read a personal finance book for a math class, it was The Money Code by Joe John Duran. It has good advice and it's easy to read.

I also wish for recommendations on this topic, since I will be attending college in the Fall of 2020 and I would like to be independently prepared. Thank you, @klarrysah_223 for your recommendation.

Have you looked into Dave Ramsey? We were able to get out of debt in two months using his method. I recommend starting with The Total Money Makeover.

Have you checked Personal Finance For Dummies? I remember skimming through it at it seeming goodish.

Dave Ramsey is the man! Is the Tolkien of Finances and Economics!
