Title says it all.

What are some good books that helped you save and budget your finances more efficiently.

WARNING: 2 cliche recommendations ahead.

If you're literally just getting started, Dave Ramsey's total money makeover was great at getting my mind wrapped around the concept and importance of just having a plan and taking control of your financial situation both short and long term.

The other is Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It was an awakening for me from the standard 'save a bunch of money in your 401K' approach to retiring and being "rich"

Disclaimer-I'm first generation middle class. Parents, while good-hearted people, were (and continue to be) awful with money in every way imaginable.

Can second that the Total Money Makeover was a very good starting point. Just read it and it definitely makes you think and makes you want to be financially responsible. Very quick and enjoyable read as well.
