Best read in the order I listed them. Depending on your interest in details you may not make it through Ellis, but that's OK.
The Bogleheads material can be very good, but I am not a fan of reading on a computer and there is a lot there to parse. YMMV.
The books on my shelf are ones I read repeatedly and learn something every time. Hopefully they will become that for you too.

+1 There are some great people on the Bogleheads that will help you with investing, taxes, SS, Medicare, and annuities.

I have no argument with bogleheads.com or with @mrfeh or @VanWinkle. bogleheads is a great place. I rarely recommend it to newbies, though. The reason is something I learned from a wise man many years ago.

"Look, we are all tempted to lift up the top of these students' heads and pour in all the racing knowledge we have accumulated over the years.
"It won't work. It's too overwhelming. Remember how little you knew when you started racing? That's what we need to give these guys who are starting out. It worked just fine for you and it will work just fine for them"
So, with Danny's wisdom in mind I tend to not recommend bogleheads to newbies."It won't work. It's too overwhelming. Remember how little you knew when you started racing? That's what we need to give these guys who are starting out. It worked just fine for you and it will work just fine for them"
