Description
This is the book people keep buying twice, because once they’ve read it, they want someone else to read it too.
Making Money Made Simple sold over a million copies, stayed on the bestseller list for a record nine years, and was voted into the Top 100 Most Influential Books of the 20th Century. But the letters that arrive decades later tell the better story: readers who picked it up in their twenties, followed it, and are now debt free or retired years earlier than they expected. A remarkable number of them finish by saying they’ve handed their copy to their own children.
This two book bundle simply makes that easier. Keep one, give one, whether that’s to a son or daughter finding their feet, a grandchild starting their first job, or a friend who’s asked you how you managed it.
Fully revamped and kept up to date, the book covers budgeting, investing, borrowing, property, shares and superannuation, in plain language, with real examples and no jargon. It was never written to impress other experts. It was written to be understood, and acted on, by ordinary people with no financial background at all.
Whoever reads it will learn how to:
- Build a budget they’ll actually stick to, and understand why most budgets fail
- Use compound interest, and why starting early matters more than starting big
- Understand the essentials of investing in shares and property
- Tell the difference between good debt and bad debt, and use borrowing to build wealth rather than destroy it
- See how superannuation fits into the bigger financial picture
“I first read Making Money Made Simple in the 1980s, in my late twenties. It really made so much sense to me and gave me a vision. I remember buying my first shares in 1988, and that was the start. My initial goal was to hit a million dollars and retire at 55. I surpassed the first and could easily have hit the second. I’m now just over 60 and basically do what I like. My kids follow in their thinking too.”
