Customer Reviews

I'd be still in debt if I hadn't read this book
If I ever met Alvin I'd hug the man! I was stuck in some serious debt and after applying the principles and tools that his book sets you up with I will finally be debt free as of next summer! Then all of the money I've been putting toward my debt will be the start of my savings.

Highly recommended but it'll only work if you really want to make the change.

This should be on the National Curriculum!
I'm 46 and have never saved a penny in my life. Reading this has given me the tools and the confidence to start making some investments - as Alvin says - better late than never. I should also add that he has also put the fear of god into me - there isn't long enough between now and retirement.
I've recommended this to my children, and have already explained the purpose, benefits and workings of pensions to my 18-year old spendthrift daughter - I so do not want her to end up like me.
Right, I'm off to put Alvin's "Winning with Shares" into my basket!

Personal finance in a nutshell
This book gives the reader an insight into all aspects of personal finance that the modern person/family might face. It covers everything from mortgages to shares, bonds to bank accounts and investments to pensions. This is a comprehensive guide to all things related to ones income and expenditure.

This is an enjoyable book to read and makes the subject of personal finance fun and enjoyable. If you have seen Alvin's television programme you will know how well he is able to explain in simple terms a complicated subject. The book is written in this clear manner. You will have a good understanding of all the subjects covered once you have read this book.

This book is ideal for anyone wanting to improve their financial future. This book has so much information in it you'd be hard pushed to apply every chapter to your personal circumstances in one go. It should be kept in the bookcase and refered to whenever another financial milestone is reached, or about to be reached.

If you are deeply in debt I'd suggest reading "How to get out of debt, stay out of debt and live prosperously" by Jerrold Mundis first.
