I'm 40, software developer. I recently got interested in money, finance, business. I'm beyond the optimal age to take formal education in these fields, I would like to learn more about them. What books do you recommend? It would be nice to read some books from elementary level to tock exchange practices.

I don't have specific books to recommend right now, but I do know of a great video that explains the basics of finance on a very rudimentary level. It is very worth the watch if you're just getting started. He goes over business structure, what sorts of things to consider when investing, and a bunch of other informative things.

Huh, not that many of us GenX'ers on this board.
(I'm a dev about the same age. Man, getting on in years blows dead yaks)
So, in my mind, there are two things you can put your cash into that are worth a damn. Index funds and real estate.
For index funds, check this article out:

For RE, biggerpockets.com is the place.
Hope that helps
