anyone know a good one? one of my friends who works a job wants to learn more about making their money work for them, etc... mostly looking for something with beginner stuff; they aren't looking to do real estate or start a business or anything, just looking to read/learn about investing their money, and how to make it grow. anyone know a good book for that?
