Has anyone read a personal finance book, ideally tailored to the Irish context, that they would recommend?
I saw a couple in the bookshop yesterday (Money Doctor and Money Made Easy) and was curious if they or any other books have been helpful to anyone here.
Flipping through them a lot of it seemed to be "basics" (e.g. explaining tax rate bands or the importance of setting a budget) - I've been interested in personal finance for a few years now so I'm looking for something a little more advanced/involved as I already have these basics down I think.
I've seen recommendations for boks like Psychology of Money that I am intrigued by. I've read The Little Book of Common Sense Investing and this convinced me to invest in broad equity funds (ideally passive/index funds) and this helped me feel much more confident in setting up my AVCs and post-tax investments, but a lot of the advice was too American focused e.g. taxes, 401ks etc. Likewise I enjoy reading personal finance blogs but they are very US focused and I worry that I have big knowledge gaps about the Irish context, especially since I am originally not from Ireland.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
