Description
Building wealth and protecting it are two entirely different skills. Most people only ever focus on the first.
Making Money Made Simple is the book that started it all for over a million readers: the essentials of budgeting, investing in shares and property, borrowing sensibly, and building genuine wealth over a working life, all explained in plain language with no jargon.
But wealth you’ve spent decades building can unravel quickly if your estate isn’t in order. Wills, powers of attorney, superannuation death benefits and tax each carry their own rules and their own traps, and getting even one of them wrong can turn a straightforward inheritance into a drawn out legal and family mess. Most of these problems are entirely avoidable, but only if they’re addressed while every option is still on the table.
That’s exactly what Wills, Death & Taxes Made Simple covers: writing a will that holds up, setting up enduring power of attorney and advance health directives correctly, handling overseas assets or beneficiaries, and structuring your estate to minimise family conflict and unnecessary tax.
Together, these two books cover the whole arc: building wealth well, and making sure it ends up exactly where you intend.
Between the two books, you’ll learn how to:
- Build a budget you’ll actually stick to, and use compound interest as your biggest financial advantage
- Understand the basics of investing in shares and property, and the difference between good debt and bad debt
- Write a will that actually holds up, and avoid the mistakes that get wills challenged
- Set up enduring power of attorney and advance health directives before you need them
- Structure your estate, including superannuation, to minimise family conflict and reduce tax
“I first found it in the local library, the red book with the $20 note photo. I migrated from Fiji in 2001, and that book changed my life. Over the next 24 years I studied and worked my way up, invested wisely and made sure every dollar had a job. Now I’m helping my kids buy their first homes, and I’ve built a healthy superannuation balance thanks to your advice.”
