Customer Reviews

And I don't normally read books...
As time goes by - I am 30 this year (ow) - you realise money and pensions and mortgages are actually quite important.
My Dad is a financial advisor and he used to bore me to death with long, drawn-out descriptions of rates and figures.
This probably encouraged me to bury my head in the sand when it came to money.
And then some bright spark recommended me Mr. Bamford's book. I struggle to read even comics at the best of times (attention span of a four-month-old puppy) and thought, "Oh no, another boring book".
How wrong I was.
Each chapter starts with a quirky quote to get you in the mood and then simple language and lay-out help you through what should be a minefield of dullness.
I've found it so useful I thoroughly recommend it to anyone - whatever your age or financial position.
Go and buy this book and be wealthy again (like the time when all you had to buy was penny sweets) - especially as some bright spark halved its price.

Life changing read
Her is a book that is both easy and enjoyable to read even for somebody that knows very little about financial matters. Looking after your money can be a pleasurable experience. I will be eager to get involved in managing my finances from now on. Well done!

This is essential reading
Any book on finance or law normally makes me fall asleep. This one is a gem and I hope the first of many. Martin's writing style is clear and jargon-free.

I would especially recommend this book to anyone starting out in their career or in a bit of a cafuffle with their finances.
