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 you won'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.

For real: The only money book you need

21 November 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I never buy financial advice guides because I dont see the value in contributing to an already wealthy persons bank account. the Barefoot Invester is my one exception. I purchased this in January 2017 having returned from overseas 12mths earlier with no savings + multiple debts + my car as only assert. Its now November 2017 and I have saved a home deposit (admittedly not 20%) + $3,000 savings + $2000 buffer. Most of my savings and payments are now automatic and I know as a single woman on just below average wage I dont need to worry about bills.

I cant reccommend this book highly enough for anyone wanting practical and achievable advice.

No Boring Budgets!

7 August 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So the beginning of this was a bit 'rah rah' motivational for me... with lots about the author's personal scenarios on his farm (there was a fire) and more to do with alpacas and planting trees. Once we got past the metaphorical though, this book got extremely useful, very practical, and it got there fast.
It nails down to scripts to empower you to talk with your bank manager, super-fund manager, insurance brokers etc; and what to look out for in terms of fees and costs on everyday bank accounts/credit cards etc etc. Beating the banker is a key aim, and who doesn't like the idea of that?
It's also got a nice touch of humour which made me giggle in parts.
My hubby was a fan of Scott Pape's newspaper column, though I've never read it. He tells me that used to have a nice line of humour in it too.
So it's a good read in terms of language and style, and it has some excellent information that I intend to follow. I don't think I'm chopping up my credit card as he advocates, but beyond that, the amount you need to retire comfortably, and how superannuation will get you there, was the biggest benefit to me. Oh - and the back of the book - stuff about legacy? That's a great reminder that you can't take the whole lot with you when you fall off your perch.
There's a lot in this book about less is more - and you don't need huge incomes to get started (who knew that people earning more than $70k/year are not necessarily happier than those earning less??), you do need to start saving/growing money now though, or as young as you can as the greatest lever for wealth creation is time. Oh, and there are no boring budgets in this book, although there are definite buckets for your money!
Thank you Scott Pape for sharing such insight and knowledge. I have a feeling it's going to become a bit of a Bible.
p.s. I bought this on Kindle sale... I think that speaks to my financial management ;)

Buy this book! Life changing!

5 August 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is wonderful for Australian based readers who are unsure of what to do with their finances. It will ensure your financial freedom! Easy to follow steps and solid advice. It's embarrassing to admit but I've been in debt for almost 20 years and with this help after only 9 months I have paid it all off and I am now starting a small investment portfolio and I have the confidence to say that I will be able to save a house deposit in a couple of years (or less) plus i have no more fears about retiring in poverty. I really didn't think any of this was possible! It's such a great feeling! Stop reading this and start reading the book!

Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Timely.

29 May 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Such sensible, practical advise. So many investment books focus on the quest to raise enormous wealth and to be extraordinarily ambitious, for many of us our wants and needs are considerably less ambitious ! Buy a home, pay our bills, have some money for friends, family and holiday fun, save money for our retirement and build some wealth with what's left over. If your struggling on how to get started this is the book for you. I'm in my 60's and Scott gave me many ideas to live hastle free in retirement by managing my money more effectively. If you are 18 or 90 you will pick up some excellent tips.

Best Book you will ever read on Financial Control

18 August 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I was told by two or more people to read The Barefoot Investor.
I thought what is all the hype about. I don't have any money to invest and I thought that the book was targeted at younger people than me. I am 62 going on 63 years of age. How wrong was I.
I had in place some of his suggestions already, but oh my did I learn a lot.
Still plenty of work for me to do, and I have already followed Scotts suggestions to place me in a better financial situation.
His method is so easy to follow.
He should be crowned Australian of the year.
I will now reread the book to ensure I have things in place and make sure I understand everything Scott recommends.
You really need to read this book, and spread the word.
Thanks Scott.

Wow!

11 May 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had heard a few people mention this book so I thought I'd investigate. Within two hours I was setting up new bank accounts. I am deliriously happy that I have a plan and I am now in control. The moment that really got me? When he asks you to consider what you have to show for all the income you've learnt. Not much really. I'll be buying copies for my kids and my friends. Absolute gold!

Common sense that's uncommon

18 July 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

An intriguing and confrontational book providing a discreet set of actions to follow and gain financial freedom. What sets this apart from other self-help texts is that it focuses on a firm set of well explained priorities which support the journey. A very worthwhile guide for your consideration if happiness is your ultimate goal in life.

By far, my best non fiction book

1 August 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is incredible, with its easy laid down steps in improving your financial life and setting yourself up in the future.
I have only just embarked on this journey and see our savings already growing, but still have some leg work to complete in fully ,the benefits of the Barefootfoot investor.
But in saying that, I will be re reading it over and over again to completely nail it.
Truely a great book and one that I will be purchasing for love ones at birthday times and Christmas.
