Product Information

** Reviewed and updated for the 2020-2021 financial year** This is the only money guide you'll ever need That's a bold claim, given there are already thousands of finance books on the shelves. So what makes this one different? Well, you won't be overwhelmed with a bunch of 'tips' ... or a strict budget (that youwon't follow). You'll get a step-by-step formula: open this account, then do this; call this person, and say this; invest money here, and not there. All with a glass of wine in your hand. This book will show you how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette ... and you'll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week. You'll also get the skinny on: Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months Doubling your income using the 'Trapeze Strategy' Saving $78,173 on your mortgage and wiping out 7 years of payments Finding a financial advisor who won't rip you off Handing your kids (or grandkids) a $140,000 cheque on their 21st birthday Why you don't need $1 million to retire ... with the 'Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy' Sound too good to be true? It's not. This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies - single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees - who have applied the simple steps in this book and achieved amazing, life-changing results. And you're next.

  • A helpful financial life plan

    The author sets out a realistic achievable plan for those who need guidance. It is fair to say that those who find themselves lost the world of personal finance can benefit enormously by using this as a part of their basic life's financial guide. I wish I had been exposed to this kind of good advice and strategies over the past 40 yrs. My wife and I are now adopting Scott's ideas to our life to try to set ourselves up for a more comfortable stress free retirement in 5 yrs.

  • i have been look8ng for this info for years

    Amazing detail and commonsense guidelines to achieve financial stability in Australia. It’s a great book, easy read and I totally recommend it. I loved it so much I bought a copy for my sister. It takes the panic & blind spending of unneeded “things” out of the equation. Excellent investment!

  • Easy to read

    Easy to read, couldn't put the book down. I work in finance but this helped me greatly to break things down more and I did learn some new things along the way. I introduced the bucket system and now my budget is much happier. My path to retirement is easier and more planned out now too, whereas I was afraid before I would not have enough funds to retire. Things were explained basically and easy to interpret and my plans are all coming together gradually. Couldn't be happier about the future. I passed the book onto my daughter when I had finished with it and she found the same thing. She has restructured her budgeting and things are looking much brighter for her. She is in a happier position about her finances now as well. Suitable advice given to the everyday layman and not geared around a financial adviser working for commission.
