Although there are no shortage of books offering general financial advice, the Australian publication "Making Money" (Paul Clitheroe) stands out for two key reasons;
1. The author is well known in the Australian media for offering timely and relevant information within the Australian context. Need to know recent changes in marginal tax rates or superannuation contribution limits? Good luck with an American publication!
2. The book is very easy to read and personable: one gathers from the text that Mr Clitheroe would be someone happy to share his extensive experience over a BBQ as well as charging premium rates from his office.
That "Making Money" is now available as an eBook, making the valuable (albeit general) advice even more competitively priced, is a huge bonus. I hope that the publication will continue to be updated by these means, as it has for nearly twenty years.
A great start to developing the skill of financial literacy.

Reviewed in the United States on 9 September 2013Verified Purchase
This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in their financial security, my only wish is I wish I read it years ago. This book is easy to read and relevant regardless of what stage of life you maybe at. Some of the chapters did not relate to our particular time of life, but it is so well written and easy to read both my husband and I read the book from cover to cover. Great book.
