1. Islamic finance - personal not economic point of view
My major source of information is the world wide web. Once one start reading, there are too much of information that a layman like me finds overwhelm. The best way to tackle it for me through Islamic finance. Insya-allah it provides me a base guide on which instrument to follow (investment, saving, spending and etc.) provided Allah s.w.t. could also grant pahala - amin.
Furthermore, most of the reading material focuses on economy and not on personal, finding the one that suit my desire is a bit of a challenge. I am still hoping to read more on this.
2. Based on my frequent visit to www.thesimpledollar.com
Currently, this is one of my top reading sites that I referred to. It provides a general understanding in finance covering all aspect of life without being biased. Most other sites tend to focus on their method of financial success. Its good, but not everyone are created equal - a method works for a man might not work for his friends. I am yet to discover the method which suits me, hence reading this site gives a blanket to all instruments.
3. Different ideas on handling personal financial matters
Similar to the www - books provide a method that is focusing one that the author successfully tested. Different writers, different methods, different point of view. As I am yet to find a method/s which tailored for me, having a wide reading materials gives insight to many financial tools is a great way.
So, for the new year, I wish to read more on item 1 (besides chic lit, parenting and biography) and more on local authors i.e. financial matters related to Malaysians.
