PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
by Paul Charles Claireaux (Author)
This book cuts through the usual financial jargon to explain the big issues of money management. We learn how our finances can be destroyed - with the help of outside 'experts', including: outright criminal scammers, commission-hungry salespeople, badly trained investment advisers, tax avoidance planners, confused economists, misleading politicians and scaremongering journalists. We also see how (well-intentioned) advice from 'family and friends' can be dangerous too! And we see how our own, irrational, behaviours can cause our biggest money mistakes. Most of us face the same long-term challenge with 'money' and life. We want a decent income in our 'later years' but we also need to support our loved ones before we get there. And we'd like to have something left over for ourselves - to have a bit of fun today. The good news is that most of us can achieve this balance with a lot less pain than some 'experts' will tell us. In this book we see how the depressing weekend newspaper headlines - on the horrendous cost of a pension - are often misleading, and we learn how to cut their projected costs in half! This book is the first in a series which demystifies money management and, most importantly, helps us to 'connect' our money to the things that really matter in our lives.
