Thanks Isusr for the book recommendations! Look like a great list, I’ve only seen Paul Graham’s essays.
I am have a pretty comfortable job and decent savings don’t have to worry about living in a few years. I am thinking about creating my own business instead of working for other people, but haven’t make the jump. I have a family and child, part of me worried they won’t be taken good care of if I risk leaving my job and what if I didn’t do well. I think this is the feeling for most middle class.
When middle class have some extra money like get promoted in the job, they tends to improve our life style, better car, bigger house etc. This turns back to increase the cost of living and more reliance on the job, and decrease the willingness to take risks. I am trying to be aware of this and not stretch the life style too much to have more savings and investments. Looking forward to find more insights from those books!
