During this time of the Covid-19 pandemic, apart from catching up with your tax paperwork and improving your business processes, if your business or work is non-operating at the moment it would be best to think about doing something to keep you relaxed while keeping your brain healthy at the same time. Reading books is one good habit for your overall well-being. Just as the internationally acclaimed author Jane Hamilton said, “It is books that are the key to the wide world; if you can’t do anything else, read all that you can.”
And since this crisis has brought so much financial hardship for so many, here are some of the books about how to save money regardless of the amount of salary you earn. Many of these are well-known and have resources on the Net and in YouTube.
